Yellow-striped poison frog

The adults carry their tadpoles to pools of still water after the eggs hatch.1

Some of these frogs die when coca farms are sprayed to kill the plants. The spraying happens during the day, when the frogs are active.1

Unlike some of its relatives, this frog is difficult to breed in captivity.1

It may once have been threatened by capture for the international pet trade. It has since been given a CITES listing, which controls trade in it.1

It can live in disturbed areas such as banana plantations, but not in places that have been completely cleared.1
