What better way to celebrate World Frog Day than to showcase the absolutely beautiful photographs of Alvaro Cubero. With a huge collection of stunning nature and animal photography, Cubero is an expert at capturing wildlife in pristine captures.
We’re struck by the vivid beauty, variation, and pristine nature of these poison dart frogs, and the way their colors and patterns express themselves.
The diminutive frogs are native to Central and South America, and feature brightly colored bodies to warn predators of their toxins, which can be deadly. There are also a range of mimic poison dart frogs, that aren’t themselves deadly, but use the colorful defense to their advantage.
These frogs are almost all threatened and endangered, due to habitat loss, climate change and disease, making them all the more special and beautiful to withhold.
