Are you not familiar with poison dart frogs? They come in all different bright colors.. These ones are safe at the Des Moines Zoo and can live up to 10 years in captivity. They had some blue ones, too.



The Des Moines Zoo also has red pandas that will come right up to the glass and look straight at you, an astonishingly fluffy snow leopard, and a nice selection of saltwater fish, including baby clown fish the size of a dime. If you ever get a chance to visit, I highly recommend it.

More cute zoo stuff- if you visit the National Zoo on a slow day the lemurs out back of the small animal house will come over and hold your hand, the giant blue pigeon relatives (these guys- had to look it up) will be marauding through the indoor trails (slightly dangerous), cassowaries will straight up stalk you :cry:, the zookeepers/volunteers are bored and want to chat. Nice days in the off season at later hours are great for that sort of thing- the cautious animals are out and the curious animals are extra curious.

Japanese long-tailed tits.

Japan in Winter I think - in summer they are neither white nor particularly fluffy.

edit: they appear to be the same species that is found in Europe but the Japanese population seem to get especially white and fluffy in the winter :3:.

Have a video of british tits getting cosy :

Poison dart frogs don't produce their own toxins. They're simply immune to the environmental toxins in their normal, tropical environment, which they consume as part of their jungle diet and then store / concentrate. When you remove a poison dart frog from its natural environment and feed it Purina frog chow or whatever, they're actually non-toxic. :science:

Used to. When my boyfriend at the time and I broke up, we decided it was best if I took the cats and he took the frogs. They sound a little like a cross between a finch and a cricket!

Yup! Although some species are worse than others. The azorius here is completely non-toxic, but a few such as the Golden dart frog can still get you pretty sick even on an all-fruit-fly diet. Even knowing that it is hard to call the little guys by their scientific name, terribilis.

I wish I had video of them eating. Their aim is awful and they bonk each other all the time.

So I says to Mabel, I says...


These guys live in my valley and come out when it rains. The first time I saw them at my house, I called the Dept. of Agriculture and they told me not to worry because our local ecosystem doesn't support their toxin production. It's still weird to open your front door and see these guys!
