Lehmann'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

Engeri y'okukitegeera

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

Kitera okutabulwa ne: 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

Obutwa mu lususu lwakyo

Olususu lwakyo lwa butwa. Kya kabi okukwatako, okukomba oba okulya.

Obutwa bwakyo bukola ki?

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

Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?

Akabi eri abantu: Kya maanyiOmuntu bw'akikwatako oba bw'akirya, genda eri omusawo. Okufa kubaawo kitono nnyo.

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

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

Its bright, vivid colours act as a warning to predators that it is inedible.1

kirungi okumanya

Ebituufu

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

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Lehmann's poison frog is always poisonous.

Amazima: Wild frogs are toxic, but frogs bred in captivity are not, because their diet lacks the chemicals needed to make the poison.1
