Phyllobates terriblis Golden Poison Dart Frog
How Dangerous Are Golden Poison Dart Frogs?
The golden poison dart frog is considered to be one of the most
poisonous animals in the world. An average frog might contain
around one milligram of poison in its skin and this small amount
is thought to be capable of killing between 10 and 20 people.
This bright yellow frog is found in the rainforests of Colombia.
The golden poison dart frog ingests the components of the poison
through its natural diet, and secretes the poison onto its skin
as a defense mechanism. Scientists are still unsure exactly
which prey provides the lethal substance, but do know that
captive-bred frogs without access to wild food do not produce
the poison.
More about poison dart frogs:
•The golden poison dart frog is social and will live in groups
of up to six in the wild.
•The poison secreted by the frogs is often used by indigenous
people to poison the darts and other weapons with which they
hunt their food.
•Adult frogs will carry newly

Why Do Octopuses Crawl When They Can Swim?

Octopuses crawl when they can swim because their cardiac systems
don’t operate at full capacity. Although an octopus has three
hearts, only two of them beat while they are swimming. This is
because two of the hearts are used to pump blood to the
octopuses’ gills, while the third heart is reserved for
circulating blood to the organs only.
Since their two hearts are not pumping as much blood throughout
their bodies as they would normally, octopuses can become
fatigued while swimming. Crawling conserves their energy while
still allowing them to travel through the water.
More about octopuses:
•An octopus can squeeze into a small opening that accommodates
its beak – for instance, 50 pound (22.68 kg) octopuses have been
known to fit through 2 inch (5.08 cm) holes.
•Two-thirds of the nerves in an octopus are located in its arms,
rather than its brains :o – this is necessary to enable a
protective mechanism that prevents its eight arms from tangling
or the suckers on its limbs from sticking together.
•Octopuses will eat their own species – giant Pacific octopuses
regularly kill and consume smaller octopuses.

In the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa, the black eagle
rules the skies. The solitary caracal is a night hunter and one
of the most efficient cats on earth. The rival predators compete
for the same prey.

[center]12 Bird Behaviors We Never Expected to See[/center]

With Birds, Learn to Expect the Unexpected[/move]
When it comes to bird photography, there is one thing you can
count on: Birds will always surprise you. No matter how much we
study and read about avian behavior, birds won't always do what
they're "supposed to do."
This is why every year during the Audubon Photography Awards, we
look forward to a fresh crop of photos that capture the utterly
different and unexpected behaviors of birds. Enjoy a dozen of
last year's entries that managed to do just that.
When birds defend their space—whether it’s a breeding territory,
or just a momentary feeding spot—they mostly focus on defending
against other members of their own species or other birds that
might compete for the same food source. Sometimes, though, we
see skirmishes among birds that aren’t competitors, like this
Blacksmith Lapwing (a type of large plover) doing an aggressive
display at two African Penguins.

The reason for the lapwing’s ire is revealed by the two fuzzy
heads sticking up above the rock: Those are its babies. The
penguins don’t actually pose a threat to the chicks, but the
lapwing parents aren’t going to take any chances.
