Some animals dance to find a mate. Scientists believe poison dart frogs dance to make their dinner move. These frogs tap the middle toes of their hind feet. Sometimes they tap up to 500 times per minute. They do this dance mostly when they see insects. Scientists offered poison dart frogs fruit flies.
