The green-and-black poison dart frog is a small, brightly coloured frog from the forests of southern Central America and north-western Colombia. It is poisonous, not venomous: it gets its toxins from the tiny insects it eats. It is also one of the most variable poison frogs in colour and pattern.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Gifkrag

Gif in sy vel

Sy vel is giftig. Dit is gevaarlik om aan te raak, te lek of te eet.

Wat doen sy gif as jy daaraan raak of dit eet?

Its skin holds alkaloid poisons, which are not venom injected by a bite. These poisons interfere with the ion channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that nerves and muscles rely on. In extreme cases, this can cause numbness, loss of muscle control, convulsions, cardiac arrest and death.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

Its poisons can cause serious effects, including death, in cases of extreme poisoning.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand aan een geraak het: was die hande goed en moenie aan die oë of mond raak nie. As 'n kind of troeteldier een gelek of geëet het: bel 'n gifsentrum of jou noodnommer.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Hundreds of different alkaloid poisons have been identified in this frog.1

Parents carry tadpoles into the treetops and place them in bromeliad pools, where the tadpoles sometimes eat each other because food is scarce.1

Unlike other poison frogs, it gathers in large groups before mating, and males fight over small patches of ground.1

It was intentionally introduced to Oahu, Hawaii, in 1932 to help control mosquitoes.1

Its toe pads have small sucker-like discs that give it a mildly sticky grip when climbing.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Poison dart frogs are poisonous in every case, because of their own nature.

Waarheid: They are not poisonous by nature. They become poisonous from the alkaloids in their diet of ants and mites. Captive frogs fed on crickets and fruit flies are non-toxic.1
