Baron’s Mantella (Mantella baroni). With their bright warning colors, toxic skin alkaloids, and day-active habits, it’s easy to see how the Madagascan Mantella frogs were once mistaken for South American Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobatidae). Their similarity however, represents a remarkable convergence as they belong to entirely separate families. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
