The Poison Dart Frog is an animal with bright colors, which frighten potential predators. Its bright colors warn other animals of its poison, which leaves it with almost no predators except the Fire-Bellied Snake. The Fire-Bellied Snake is immune to the Poison Dart Frog's poison. Due to climate change, if a rainforest habitat turned into a savanna, the Poison Dart Frog would be at a disadvantage with its bright colors. It would most likely adapt by changing its bright colors to a tan color. This would help it hide from the Fire-Bellied Snake. On the other hand, a tan color would eliminate the warning it gives other animals about its poison. This would be a problem because more animals may be inclined to prey on the Poison Dart Frog. Another adaptation it develop is shooting poison from its head like the Greening's Frog, so it can protect itself.
