The splash-backed poison frog is a fairly large, brightly coloured frog from the rainforests of the southern Amazon Basin in Brazil. It is poisonous, not venomous, which means its skin is harmful to touch or eat rather than injecting venom with a bite. Its colours vary a great deal, which has made it an interesting case for scientists studying bright colours in poisonous frogs.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.

Leef in

Southern Amazon Basin in Brazil, where it is endemic (found nowhere else)1

Suid-Amerika

Tuis

It lives in tropical moist lowland forests, where it has been seen up to 600 metres above sea level. It seems to prefer forests with large numbers of Brazil nut trees. Eggs are laid on the ground.1

Lengte

Hoe om dit te herken

The best-known form is black below and yellow, orange or red above.1
Its colour is very variable. Some have whitish-mint or light blue upperparts, and some have a mottled or spotted pattern on top.1
Some individuals are almost all whitish, yellow-orange or black. Captive keepers call the whitish ones 'moonshine'.1

Gifkrag

Gif in sy vel

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

Bright colour in poisonous frogs is often thought to warn predators away, but studies of this frog suggest the colour may matter more for recognising each other and for choosing mates.1

Adults carry their tadpoles to water, and scientists believe Brazil nut husks may be among the places they use.1

Its colours vary so much that some forms were once thought to be separate species, but genetic tests found almost no difference between them.1

The two most different-looking colour forms have largely the same poison profile.1

It is relatively common and regularly bred in captivity, but wild populations are still at risk from illegal collection.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Bright colours on a poisonous frog always warn predators that it will poison them if they try to eat it.

Waarheid: That is a longstanding interpretation, but studies of this frog suggest its colour may have more to do with recognising others of its kind and sexual selection than with deterring predators.1
