The little devil poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives in the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador. It is common in parts of Colombia, but it has disappeared from much of its range in Ecuador. Its bright colours warn predators that its skin is toxic.1

It lives in humid lowland and foothill rainforest, usually on the forest floor, and it can be found up to about 1000 metres above sea level. It lives near rivers, streams and in the interior of the forest, and it can survive in some degraded areas such as plantations, as long as they are humid.1

Chefo ya yona (e chefang ha o e ama kapa o e ja) e etsang?

This frog is poisonous rather than venomous. Its skin contains toxic alkaloids, which it gets from the ants and mites it eats and then stores in its skin. These toxins act as a 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?

Its bright, warning colours tell predators that its skin is unpalatable, and it is toxic if attacked.1

Dintlha

1

Its toxins come from its diet, so a frog living in cleared pastureland has fewer toxins than one living in rainforest, because it eats fewer kinds of ants, mites and termites.1

2

Females have much larger home ranges than males and can climb up to 10 metres, while males can only climb up to 2 metres.1

3

Because it lays its eggs on land, it lays fewer and larger eggs than frogs that lay their eggs in water, so each egg has more resources to survive.1

4

Its bright colours are a warning, which is called aposematic coloration.1

Males fertilise the eggs outside the body. The female lays 4 to 20 eggs in or near shallow pools on land, and the parents care for the eggs and tadpoles.1
