Southern corroboree frog
Gif in sy velEet: InsekteGiftig om aan te raak of te eet, nie deur 'n byt of steek nieThe southern corroboree frog is a small yellow and black frog from the mountains of southeastern Australia. It lives in the Snowy Mountains, in wet, boggy places high above sea level. It is critically endangered, which means it is at very high risk of disappearing from the wild.1

Hoe om dit te herken
- Adults have vivid yellow and black stripes across the head, back and limbs.1
- The body and head are short and wide, and the snout has a slight point.1
- The fingers and toes have no webbing.1
- The iris (the coloured part of the eye) is black.1
- Females measure 26 to 31 mm long and males 22 to 29 mm.1
Word dikwels verwar met: The northern corroboree frog is similar, but its striping is narrower and more greenish-yellow.1
Gifkrag
Sy vel is giftig. Dit is gevaarlik om aan te raak, te lek of te eet.
Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?
Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.
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
The species is critically endangered, and fewer than 30 individuals were left in the wild as of March 2022.1
Males compete for females by singing, and each male can attract up to ten females to his burrow one after another.1
Tadpoles hatch while still inside the egg coat, which keeps them protected until the nest floods.1
Adults usually breed only once in their lives, and they reach sexual maturity at four years old.1
Its population fell by up to 80% in the 10 years up to 1989, and a chytrid fungus infection is a major cause of the decline.1
Zoos across four institutions run captive breeding programs, and by 2018 there were over 400 frogs in zoos.1
