Red-backed poison frog
Gif in sy velEet: InsekteGiftig om aan te raak of te eet, nie deur 'n byt of steek nieThe red-backed poison frog is a tiny frog that lives high in the Amazon rainforest of Peru and Ecuador. It is moderately poisonous, and its skin poison can cause serious injury to people. Its bright red back warns predators to stay away.1

Gifkrag
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?
This frog is poisonous, not venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its poison is stored in skin glands just beneath the outer layer of skin. It seeps through open wounds, body openings and pores. The poison can cause serious injury to humans and death in animals such as chickens.1
Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?
Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.The poison is moderately toxic and can cause serious injury to humans.1
Wat doen dit as dit bang is?
When it is threatened, it shows its bright warning colours, climbs trees to escape, or uses its poison if it cannot get away.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
Males stick the tadpoles to their backs using a water-soluble mucus, then carry them into the canopy.1
Males place the tadpoles in tiny pools that collect in the centre of bromeliad plants. The mother then feeds them infertile eggs laid in the water.1
Once they become froglets, the young are led to an existing group, where all members accept them, though only their parents care for them.1
It is the second most poisonous frog in its genus Ranitomeya, after R. variabilis.1
Breeding gatherings take place at the end of the wet season, so the eggs are laid at the start of the next wet season, when the young have a steady supply of water.1
Deforestation for charcoal and the capture of frogs for the international pet trade are the main threats to it.1
