Red-backed poison frog
The red-backed poison frog is a tiny frog that lives high in the Amazon rainforest of Peru and Ecuador. It is moderately poisonous, and its skin poison can cause serious injury to people. Its bright red back warns predators to stay away.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?
This frog is poisonous, not venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its poison is stored in skin glands just beneath the outer layer of skin. It seeps through open wounds, body openings and pores. The poison can cause serious injury to humans and death in animals such as chickens.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.
El n'ha betg quai sin tai. Ses tissi è mo là, per che nagin na al mangia. Dapli davart la segirezza

Fatgs
Males stick the tadpoles to their backs using a water-soluble mucus, then carry them into the canopy.1
Males place the tadpoles in tiny pools that collect in the centre of bromeliad plants. The mother then feeds them infertile eggs laid in the water.1
Once they become froglets, the young are led to an existing group, where all members accept them, though only their parents care for them.1
It is the second most poisonous frog in its genus Ranitomeya, after R. variabilis.1
Breeding gatherings take place at the end of the wet season, so the eggs are laid at the start of the next wet season, when the young have a steady supply of water.1
Deforestation for charcoal and the capture of frogs for the international pet trade are the main threats to it.1
