The black-legged poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog from the rainforests of Colombia. It is one of the most toxic dart frogs in the world, and its skin can kill a person. It is also an endangered species, so it matters for conservation.1

Askotan honekin nahasten da: It is often mistaken for the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis), which looks similar. The black-legged poison frog is smaller, more slender and less poisonous. Juvenile golden poison frogs can also look like it. It also resembles the 'netted' colour form of D. leucomelas.1
Pozoi-indarra
Bere azala toxikoa da. Arriskutsua da ukitzea, miazkatzea edo jatea.
Zer egiten du bere toxinak?
This frog is poisonous rather than venomous, because its toxin comes out through its skin. The toxin is batrachotoxin, a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. It stops nerve signals from getting through, which causes paralysis, heart failure and breathing failure. There are no known treatments or antidotes for it.1
Zein arriskutsua da pertsonentzat?
Arriskua pertsonentzat: Oso arriskutsuaTratamendurik jasotzen ez duen pertsona bat hil dezake.It is one of the few frogs confirmed to have killed humans. Between 2 and 200 micrograms of its toxin is enough to kill a person. Its toxin is weaker than that of the golden poison frog.1
Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?
Its bright colours warn predators that it is poisonous, and its skin releases toxins through pores.1
Norbaitek ukitu edo jan badu
- Norbaitek bat ukitu badu: garbitu eskuak ondo eta ez ukitu begiak edo ahoa. Haur edo maskota batek bat miazkatu edo jan badu: deitu zure intoxikazio-zentrora edo larrialdi-zenbakira.
Deitu beti lehenik zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911). Lehen sorospenei buruzko orientabide orokorra da hau, ez mediku-aholkua. Lehen sorospenen oinarriak
Egon seguru
- Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
- Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
- Ukitu edo jan baduzu: ez igurtzi begiak edo ahoa, garbitu eskuak eta lortu mediku-laguntza.
Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia ezerk jan ez dezan baino ez du. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak
Some Chocó people in Colombia use the poison from these frogs to tip hunting darts for blowguns.1
The male carries the tadpoles on his back. Some of the toxin rubs off onto them, so a predator that eats one would be poisoned.1
The frog cannot make its own toxin. It gets the chemicals it needs from its diet and its surroundings.1
Unlike most frogs, which are active at night, this frog is active during the daytime. Its bright colours are easier to see then, which helps warn predators.1
The male's high-pitched trill attracts females. Brighter males are more attractive, and their colour can help them win mates.1
Mito-hauslea
Mitoa: That it is the most toxic dart frog in the world.
Egia: It is the second most toxic dart frog. The golden poison frog is more toxic.1
