The Panamanian golden frog is a bright yellow-gold toad that lives only in Panama. It sits on the mountain streams and cloud forests of the west-central part of the country. It is a national symbol, and it is also one of the most endangered amphibians in the world.1

Amaanyi g'obutwa

Obutwa mu lususu lwakyo

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

Obutwa bwakyo bukola ki?

It is poisonous rather than venomous, because its toxins work on contact with the skin and are not injected. The toxin is water-soluble and affects the nerve cells of anyone who touches it. Large doses can be fatal within 20 to 30 minutes, after convulsions that stop breathing and blood circulation.1

Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?

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

Its toxin affects the nerve cells of anyone who comes into contact with it, and large doses can be fatal. Because it is critically endangered, the frog should be left alone in the wild.1

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

When a predator approaches, it waves and lifts its foot to show its bright colours, which warn of its toxicity. If the predator keeps coming, the waving and calls increase in speed and volume.1

Omuntu bw'aba nga akikutteko oba akiridde

  • Omuntu bw'aba nga akutteko emu: naaza bulungi engalo era tokwata ku maaso wadde akamwa. Omwana oba ensolo y'awaka bw'aba ng'agikombye oba agiridde: kuba ekifo ekikola ku butwa (poison centre) oba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze.

Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi

Weekuume

  • Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
  • Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
  • Bw'oba okikutteko oba okiridde: tokolokota maaso go wadde akamwa, naaza engalo zo era funa obuyambi bw'abasawo.
