Andinobates
genus of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andinobates is a group of frogs. They are poison dart frogs. They live in Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama.[2] Scientists used to think these frogs were in Dendrobates and Ranitomeya but they changed their minds in 2011. Twomey, Brown, and their colleagues made the genus Andinobates for 12 frogs. Andinobates frogs are different from Ranitomeya frogs because their 2nd and 3rd back bones grow together into one bone. They do not have color patterns on their legs, and Ranitomeya frogs do have patterns.[1]
