Strawberry poison dart frogs are less venomous to humans than others poison dart frogs, but their toxins will cause swelling and a burning sensation.
The golden poison dart frog is among the most venomous of this colorful frog species.

Do you have any information on grants for the study of these beautiful frogs which are becoming fewer in the wild. I want to do a study of the effects of captive breeding is having on them. A grant would help me get what I need to do thid study and possibly donate the frogs to zoos so everyone can enjoy and know they exsist.
