Best Answer

Poison frogs are creatures of great scientific interest to biologists. The frog's intriguing ability to resist, store, and manipulate toxins, along with its role in the food chain pose many important questions in the study of food-chain evolution. Biologists have speculated that the frogs may have first evolved a resistance to the alkaloids in their food sources. Their ability to digest toxic foods may have allowed them capitalize on unwanted supplies of foods.
