@Onychorhynchus coronatus thank you very much! It’s in one of my favorite exhibits in the rainforest area, it’s filled to the brim with several poison frog species

@Julio C Castro Are the golden poison frogs kept with any other species ?

@Onychorhynchus coronatus they are kept with 5 to 6 other species of poison frogs, I believe the exhibit housed more than 50 individuals total!

@Onychorhynchus coronatus it’s almost like they’re little Oscar statues given out by the Academy Awards and their name suits them very well

@Julio C Castro I can definitely see the resemblance but it is an oscar statue that you wouldn't want to touch or kiss at an award ceremony lol.
