Epibatidine is a potent poisonous alkaloid found on the skin of the Epipedobates anthonyi (formally named Epipedobates tricolor) species of poison dart frog. These frogs like other poison dart frogs are best known for their ability to sequester poisons from their prey and secrete these poisons onto their backs. Epibatidine is unique to Epipedobates tricolor and is not found on other poison frogs in the family dendrobatidae.
