Ne ho awuduro yɛ dɛn?
The frog's skin glands produce batrachotoxin, a very strong alkaloid poison. It affects the sodium channels of nerve cells, leaving muscles stuck in a contracted state. This can lead to paralysis, heart fibrillation, heart failure and death.1

Asiane ma nnipa: ƐkumMmoa a asiane wɔ wɔn ho sen biara wɔ wiase no mu baako.An average wild frog is estimated to carry about one milligram of poison, enough to kill 10 to 20 humans. A predator usually has to try to eat the frog to be poisoned, but contact with the skin is also dangerous. Captive-bred frogs are not toxic.1

Its bright colours warn predators of its toxicity, a pattern called aposematic coloration.1

Local indigenous peoples, such as the Emberá and Cofán, use the frog's poison on the tips of hunting darts and arrows. The poison stays deadly for two years or longer.1
The frog gets its toxicity from its diet. Frogs fed commercial feeder insects in captivity lose their toxicity over time.1
Scientists think a small beetle from the family Melyridae may be a key prey item that supplies the poison.1
The Leimadophis epinephelus snake has shown resistance to several frog toxins and has been seen eating juvenile frogs without harm.1
The frog's colour varies. The yellow form gives it its common name, but the species also has mint green, orange and orange blackfoot forms.1
Atosɛm sɛefoɔ
Atosɛm: All golden poison frogs are always poisonous.
Nokorɛ: The frog only becomes toxic when it eats the right prey in the wild. Captive-bred frogs raised without their natural food are non-toxic.1

- The eggs are laid on the ground, hidden under leaf litter. Tadpoles stick to the mucus on the parent's back, and the parent carries them to water pools in the canopy.1
