The text states that the golden dart frog is considered the most toxic amphibian and cannot produce poison if born in captivity.
The claim that the golden dart frog is the most toxic amphibian is well-supported by multiple sources stating its deadly potency due to alkaloid toxins. Regarding the second claim that golden dart frogs cannot produce poison in captivity, the evidence is indirect, focusing on their care and legal aspects rather than poison production. Therefore, while the first claim is strongly supported, the second lacks direct evidence detailing their toxin production in captivity.
