Green poison dart frogs live in the rainforests of Central and South America and were introduced in Hawaii by humans. Males are territorial and fight to establish their home territory for a mating season. Females lay up to six eggs in a small pool of water and they leave the males to look after the eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the male carries the tadpoles on his back and deposits them in a pond or stream where they develop to maturity on their own (Source: Schafer).
