Framed Print of Dyeing Poison Frog
Dendrobates tinctorius is called the dyeing poison frog owing to the fact that at one time it was believed that Indians used the toxins from the frogs to change the colors of parrot feathers. The theorized practice entailed stripping parrots of their green feathers. Skin toxins from the frogs were then rubbed on the bird's skin. The feathers that grew back would allegedly be a different, bright red color. No substantial evidence has been provided for this process, known as tapirage. The species is found through the Guianas and adjacent Brazil. It is a polymorphic species with dozens of colors and patterns. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source
