One of the most unique and interesting amphibians also calls these islands home, the Poison Dart Frog. These frogs are very small and come in a rainbow of different colors from green, to blue, to yellow. These frogs get their name from the poison that they excrete on their skin and its ancient use by native Indians to tip their spears and darts. Two distinct color variants of the strawberry poison-dart frog are believed to only live on Isla Bastimentos. 
Other examples of wildlife and you may see in the Jungles on Bastimentos include such as White-faced capuchins, night monkeys, conejo pintado, margays, armadillos, exotic birds, bats, turtles, caimans, frogs, lizards, butterflies, and rare tropical insects.
The park is also home to thousands of plant species including hardwoods, forest palms, vines, brophytes, ferns, bromeliads, orchids among others.
