Baron's mantella is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its skin contains toxic chemicals that make it harmful to predators, and its bright colours warn them to stay away.1

Sɛdeɛ wobɛhunu no

  • Has a light line above the eyes, called a rostral line.1
  • Hind limbs are orange with irregular black stripes, giving a tiger-like pattern.1
  • Front limbs range from light green to bright orange or yellow, with a large rounded flank blotch.1
  • Adults are 2.4 to 3.2 cm long, and females are slightly larger than males.1
  • Males call during the day, and it is an active hunter in daylight.1

Wɔtaa fa no sɛ: It is often confused with the painted mantella (Mantella madagascariensis), which has a similar look. The painted mantella has a sky-blue, horseshoe-shaped marking on its throat. Baron's mantella does not have the flashmarks on its lower hind limbs.1

Awuduro ahoɔden

Awuduro wɔ ne honam mu

Ne honam yɛ awuduro. Ɛyɛ asiane sɛ wode wo nsa bɛka, wobɛtaforɔ anaa wobɛdi.

Ne ho awuduro yɛ dɛn?

It does not inject venom. Its skin contains alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals it gets from eating mites. These make it harmful to predators that eat it, and they can cause sickness. The strength of the toxin varies over time and by location, and frogs in remote populations may be more potent.1

Ne asiane ma nnipa te sɛn?

Asiane ma nnipa: Ɛnyɛ denƐte sɛ wowa wɔ anaa ɛnnu saa. Ɛkame ayɛ sɛ ɛnni asiane ma nnipa.

Its toxicity can vary, and careless handling is discouraged.1

Ɛyɛ dɛn bere a ehu aka no?

Its bright colours warn predators that eating it could be dangerous and cause sickness.1

1

Its toxicity comes from the mites it eats, so its poison depends on its diet.1

2

Mantella frogs look like poison dart frogs from Latin America, but they are only distant relatives. The likeness is an example of convergent evolution.1

3

Unlike most frogs, which are active at night, it hunts during the day.1

4

Its bright colours and its toxins are a warning system, a pattern called aposematism.1

5

Its family arrived on Madagascar an estimated 76 to 87 million years ago.1

6

It is one of the largest species in the Mantella genus, with only some Mantella viridis individuals reaching a similar size.1

Atosɛm sɛefoɔ

Atosɛm: Baron's mantella is the same as the painted mantella, and is sometimes called a painted mantella.

Nokorɛ: The two are distinct species. They look alike, but the painted mantella has a sky-blue throat marking that Baron's mantella lacks.1
