    The dyeing poison dart frog, also known as the cobalt poison frog, tinc, is a species of poison dart frog. It is among the most variably colored and largest species of poison dart frogs, typically reaching snout–vent lengths of about 50 mm (2.0 in). It is distributed in the eastern portion of the Guiana Shield, including parts of French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Brazil. These types of frogs usually tend to stay on the ground as it is easier to catch prey., though in some cases may climb trees as well. They are frequently found in treefall canopy gaps in the Amazon rainforest, as they utilize phytotelmata on the fallen trees for tadpole development.
