The phantasmal poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives only in a few places in central Ecuador. Its skin produces one of the most powerful natural poisons known, which scientists are studying for medicine. It is a rare animal, and its numbers are falling.1

Uko wayimenya

  • Body colour ranges from dark brown to dark red or black.1
  • Has two or three bright orange, bright yellow or light green stripes running along the back, from the head to the rear. The stripes can be straight or flame-shaped.1
  • Blotches or spots on the limbs and parts of the back match the colour of the stripes.1
  • Has distinct red or orange markings on the hind areas.1
  • Small, at about 2.3 cm from snout to vent (the base of the body).1

Ikunze kwitiranywa na: It is often confused with Epipedobates anthonyi, which has similar colours and calls. The first finger of E. anthonyi is longer than its second finger, while this frog's is not. E. anthonyi is also brick red to bright red, with cream or light-yellow stripes running from the head to the hips.1

Imbaraga z'uburozi

Uburozi mu ruhu rwayo

Uruhu rwayo rufite uburozi. Ni bibi kuyikoraho, kuyirigata cyangwa kuyirya.

Uburozi bwayo bukora iki?

This frog is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not inject venom. It makes epibatidine, a toxin that its skin glands release as a defence against predators. Epibatidine is studied for its medical value as a painkiller and opioid blocker. Scientists have found it to be hundreds of times stronger than morphine.1

Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?

Akaga ku bantu: IrababazaIshobora kubabaza cyane, ariko hafi ya buri gihe nta kibazo gikomeye biteza.

It is one of the most poisonous animals on the planet. One of the substances in its skin is a painkiller hundreds of times stronger than morphine. Its poison is in its skin, so it is harmful to touch or eat.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

Its bright colours warn predators that it is highly toxic, and it releases poison from its skin glands.1

Niba hari uwayikozeho cyangwa uwayiriye

  • Niba hari uwakoze ku yindi: karaba intoki neza kandi ntukore ku maso cyangwa ku munwa. Niba umwana cyangwa itungo ryayirigase cyangwa ryayiriye: hamagara ikigo gishinzwe uburozi cyangwa nimero y'ubutabazi.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba wayikozeho cyangwa wayiriye: ntukube amaso cyangwa umunwa, karaba intoki kandi ushake ubufasha bwa muganga.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Uburozi bwayo buriho gusa kugira ngo hatagira ikiyirya. Ibindi ku kwirinda
