    Dendrobates is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America. It once contained numerous species, but most originally placed in this genus have been split off into other genera such as Adelphobates, Ameerega, Andinobates, Epipedobates, Excidobates, Oophaga, Phyllobates and Ranitomeya (essentially all the brightly marked poison dart frogs; i.e. excluding the duller genera in ...

    Unlike some dendrobatid frogs, R. vanzolinii parents actively protect and feed their tadpoles. The female will lay a fertile egg (or eggs) in a tiny pool of collected rainwater, typically within the central funnel, or “cup”, of a bromeliad. Once the eggs hatch, the female is encouraged by the male to lay an infertile egg into the same small ...
