Colombia home to world's deadliest frogs
Snakebites are terrifying and can even cause death in the absence of emergency medical care. But did you know there’s one creature out there that's even more dangerous than snakes?
This tiny golden frog happens to be the most poisonous creature on earth and it can only be found in a small rain forest on the Pacific coast of Colombia. It has enough venom to kill over ten adult men in only three minutes. But the amphibian excretes the poison through its skin only when it feels threatened.
That means, picking it up without gloves and holding it in your hand for more than three minutes is suicide. Within minutes, you will experience uncontrollable muscle contractions and heart failure. So if you go to Colombia, make sure to stay far away from golden frogs.
