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?

The frog has no venom and does not inject anything. Its skin holds alkaloid toxins, mainly pumiliotoxin 251D, which affects the heart and disrupts the sodium and potassium channels in cells. Predators that eat the frog can suffer convulsions, paralysis and death.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

Its toxins are harmful to animals that eat it, causing convulsions, paralysis and death.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

Its bright warning colours signal that it is toxic to predators.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

Mothers feed their tadpoles unfertilised eggs, and the tadpoles need this diet to take in the toxins that protect them.1

Adult females carry about 53% more alkaloid toxins than adult males.1

Although it is the most toxic member of its genus, it is not the most poisonous of all poison dart frogs.1

Populations separated for more than 10,000 years can develop very different colour patterns.1

Only 5 to 12% of each clutch of eggs develops into tadpoles, which is why mothers invest so heavily in them.1

Mite-breker

Mite: It is the most poisonous of all poison dart frogs.

Waarheid: It is the most toxic member of its genus, Oophaga, but it is not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids.1
