Lehmann's poison frog
Otrov u kožiJede: KukciOtrovno na dodir ili za jelo, ne ugrizom ili ubodomLehmann's poison frog is a small, brightly marked frog that lives only in a small part of western Colombia. Its skin produces strong toxins, and its bright colours warn predators to leave it alone. It is critically endangered, so it matters for conservation as well as for safety.1

Kako ga prepoznati
- Black or dark brown background with two bright, broad bands of colour round the body1
- Coloured bands on the arms and legs, and on the belly1
- Red, orange or yellow colour forms; each frog has its own unique pattern1
- Males have silver-tipped toes1
- Adults measure 31 to 36 mm from snout to vent1
Često se miješa s: The harlequin poison frog (Oophaga histrionicus) looks very similar and can interbreed with it. Scientists still debate whether Lehmann's poison frog is a separate species. The main difference is that Lehmann's frog lacks histrionicotoxins, a type of toxin found in the harlequin frog. Males also have calls that differ between northern and southern populations.1
Snaga otrova
Koža mu je otrovna. Opasno ga je dirati, lizati ili jesti.
Što radi njegov otrov ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš?
It is not venomous. Its skin produces toxins, including alkaloids such as pumiliotoxins, that can be very poisonous. Frogs bred in captivity are not poisonous, because their diet lacks the chemicals needed to make the toxins.1
Koliko je opasno za ljude?
Opasnost za ljude: OzbiljnoAko ga netko dotakne ili pojede, treba ići liječniku. Smrtni slučajevi su vrlo rijetki.The skin toxins can be very poisonous to predators, and some native tribes of Colombia used them to coat their darts. Frogs in captivity are not poisonous.1
Što radi kad se uplaši?
Its bright, vivid colours act as a warning to predators that it is inedible.1
Ako ga je netko dotaknuo ili pojeo
- Ako ga je netko dotaknuo: dobro operi ruke i ne diraj oči ni usta. Ako ga je dijete ili kućni ljubimac polizao ili pojeo: nazovi centar za otrovanja ili broj za hitne slučajeve.
Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći
Ostani na sigurnom
- Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
- Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
- Ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš: ne trljaj oči ni usta, operi ruke i potraži liječničku pomoć.
Ne želi ti ništa loše. Njegov otrov služi samo tome da ga nitko ne pojede. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice
In the wild, this frog is toxic, but frogs kept in captivity lose their toxicity because the toxins come from their diet.1
Tadpoles in the same pool may eat each other, so the male carries them to separate water pools.1
The male is the one who guards the eggs and carries the tadpoles on his back for two to four weeks.1
Its skin toxins are being studied for possible medicinal uses.1
Its bright colours are a warning, a strategy called aposematism.1
Razbijač mitova
Mit: Lehmann's poison frog is always poisonous.
Istina: Wild frogs are toxic, but frogs bred in captivity are not, because their diet lacks the chemicals needed to make the poison.1

- The female lays a small number of large eggs on leaves about 1.2 metres above the forest floor. The male fertilises them, keeps them moist, then carries the tadpoles on his back to small water pools such as tree hollows and bromeliad rosettes.1
