Phantasmal poison frog
The phantasmal poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives only in a few places in central Ecuador. Its skin produces one of the most powerful natural poisons known, which scientists are studying for medicine. It is a rare animal, and its numbers are falling.1

Ana yawan rikita shi da: It is often confused with Epipedobates anthonyi, which has similar colours and calls. The first finger of E. anthonyi is longer than its second finger, while this frog's is not. E. anthonyi is also brick red to bright red, with cream or light-yellow stripes running from the head to the hips.1

This frog is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not inject venom. It makes epibatidine, a toxin that its skin glands release as a defence against predators. Epibatidine is studied for its medical value as a painkiller and opioid blocker. Scientists have found it to be hundreds of times stronger than morphine.1

Haɗari ga mutane: Mai raɗaɗiYana iya yin ciwo sosai, amma kusan bai taɓa zama mai tsanani ba.It is one of the most poisonous animals on the planet. One of the substances in its skin is a painkiller hundreds of times stronger than morphine. Its poison is in its skin, so it is harmful to touch or eat.1
Me yake yi idan ya ji tsoro?
Its bright colours warn predators that it is highly toxic, and it releases poison from its skin glands.1

Bayanai
Its poison, epibatidine, is over two hundred times as powerful as morphine, according to one study.1
Males are very territorial. They first call to warn off intruders, and if that fails they chase and fight them.1
Males compete for the best perch, forming a hierarchy of dominance.1
The frog is active during the day, though males call most often in the morning.1
Mai karya tatsuniya
Tatsuniya: That it is the same species as Epipedobates anthonyi.
Gaskiya: It is a separate species. The two were only formally distinguished in a 2004 study, though they look and sound alike.1
