In their natural habitat, P. bicolor excretes toxins from pores in its skin. [10] The frogs cannot naturally produce the toxin, so they derive the nutrients necessary from their diet and surrounding environment. Between 2-200 micrograms of its poison, a batrachotoxin (BTX), is enough to kill a human being (a reported LD50 of 2.7 ± 0.2 μg/kg ...

The frog is reported to have a distinct call from the other Ameerega species found in the area. [2] This species mating call can be characterized as a series of chirp-like, pulsed notes.

Frogs raised in captivity do not produce batrachotoxin, and thus may be handled without risk. However, this limits the amount of batrachotoxin available for research as 10,000 frogs yielded only 180 mg of batrachotoxin. [19] As these frogs are endangered, their harvest is unethical. Biosynthetic studies are also challenged by the slow rate of ...
