Here are just a few fascinating facts from "Frogs! A Chorus of Colors":
- A seven-pound goliath frog can jump 10 feet.
- A golden poison frog, appropriately named terribilis, has enough poison on its skin to kill 20,000 mice -- or 10 people. That makes it one of the most poisonous animals on Earth.
- All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads.
- The smallest frog in the exhibit, the golden mantella, grows to be an inch long.
