Panamanian golden frog
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

Forza tossica
Sia pel è tossica. Igl è privlus d'al tutgar, d'al litgar u d'al mangiar.
Tge fa sia substanza tossica?
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
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: GravSch'insatgi al tutga u al mangia, va tar in medi. Cas da mort èn fitg rars.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
Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?
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
Sch'insatgi l'ha tutgà u mangià
- Sch'insatgi ha tutgà in tal animal: lava bain ils mauns e na tutga betg ils egls u la bucca. Sch'in uffant u in animal da chasa ha litgà u mangià in tal animal: clama il center toxicologic u tes numer d'urgenza.
Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid
Resta en segirezza
- Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
- Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
- Sche ti l'has tutgà u mangià: na sfruscha betg ils egls u la bucca, lava ils mauns e tschertga agid medicinal.

Fatgs
It is able to communicate by waving its feet, a bit like semaphore, as well as by sound.1
It is an 'earless' frog with no eardrums, yet it can still hear sounds and work out where they come from.1
Its toxins are powerful enough that some predators avoid it, though a few snakes can cope with its poison.1
Tadpoles have black and gold colouring, which helps protect them from the sun.1
It was filmed in the wild for the last time in 2006 for the BBC series Life in Cold Blood.1
