Greening's frog

Corythomantis greeningi
Ka lebitso: The specific name greeningi honours Linnaeus Greening (1855–1927), an English businessman and naturalist known for his work on arachnids, reptiles and amphibians.1

Greening's frog is a small tree frog that lives in the dry thorn scrub of eastern Brazil. It is venomous: it has spines on its skull that can inject venom when it headbutts. It is special because it survives a semi-desert climate by hiding in tree hollows, rock cracks and bromeliads.1

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

Its skull spines inject venom into other animals, or into a human hand, when it headbutts. Its skin secretions contain steroids and alkaloids, which in laboratory tests caused a powerful painful effect and swelling in mouse cells. In the wild these secretions act as a chemical defence against predators.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bohlokoE ka utlwisa bohloko haholo, empa hoo e batlang e le kamehla ha e kotsi haholo.

E etsang ha e tshohile?

It hides in a tree hollow, rock crevice or bromeliad, sealing the entrance with its head, and it defends itself by headbutting with its skull spines.1

Dintlha

1

Unlike poison dart frogs, which only secrete poison from their skin, this frog can inject venom through spines on its skull.1

2

The skin of its head is fused to the skull to form a casque, a hard helmet-like structure.1

3

In laboratory tests, its skin secretions also slowed the growth of mouse fibroblast and melanoma cells.1

4

It has a tough, water-resistant skin and a low metabolic rate, which help it survive the dry semi-desert climate.1

5

When the rains start and the streams run with water, males set up territories near the water and call to attract females.1

6

It shares its headbutting, spine-injecting defence with another frog, Nyctimantis brunoi.1
