Poisonous beauties from the American rainforests
This Saturday, 6 July, Prague Zoo will unveil 30 species of poison dart frogs for its visitors. At 1 p.m. the grand opening of the Dart Frogs exhibition will take place in the Gočár’s Houses Gallery. The themed programme will offer a performance by a Brazilian dancer or a quiz trail for young and old alike. In dozens of terrariums people will be able to see one of the most poisonous frogs in the world, the golden poison frog, as well as rarely bred species such as the Marañón poison frog or the green and black poison dart frog “Capurgana”.

Every Sunday from 1 pm, visitors can also enjoy guided tours with a breeder who is an expert in the field. People can admire the frogs, whose poison is used by aboriginal South Americans for hunting, until mid-September. The exhibition is free for all visitors to Prague Zoo.
