Baron's mantella
Sumu ndani ya ngoziHula: WaduduSumu ya kugusa au kula, hadungi sumuBaron's mantella is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its skin contains toxic chemicals that make it harmful to predators, and its bright colours warn them to stay away.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Has a light line above the eyes, called a rostral line.1
- Hind limbs are orange with irregular black stripes, giving a tiger-like pattern.1
- Front limbs range from light green to bright orange or yellow, with a large rounded flank blotch.1
- Adults are 2.4 to 3.2 cm long, and females are slightly larger than males.1
- Males call during the day, and it is an active hunter in daylight.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It is often confused with the painted mantella (Mantella madagascariensis), which has a similar look. The painted mantella has a sky-blue, horseshoe-shaped marking on its throat. Baron's mantella does not have the flashmarks on its lower hind limbs.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
It does not inject venom. Its skin contains alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals it gets from eating mites. These make it harmful to predators that eat it, and they can cause sickness. The strength of the toxin varies over time and by location, and frogs in remote populations may be more potent.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.Its toxicity can vary, and careless handling is discouraged.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
Its bright colours warn predators that eating it could be dangerous and cause sickness.1
Mtu akimgusa au kumla
- Mtu akimgusa: nawa mikono vizuri na usiguse macho wala mdomo. Mtoto au mnyama kipenzi akimramba au kumla: piga kituo cha taarifa za sumu au namba ya dharura.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Ukimgusa au kumla: usisugue macho wala mdomo, nawa mikono na utafute msaada wa kitabibu.
Hakuwindi wewe. Sumu yake ipo tu ili asiliwe na yeyote. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama
Ana ukubwa gani?
Ana urefu gani?
karibu urefu sawa na kibanio cha karatasi

Ni hesabu tu kwenye kivinjari chako. Hakuna kinachohifadhiwa wala kutumwa popote.
Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Its toxicity comes from the mites it eats, so its poison depends on its diet.1
Mantella frogs look like poison dart frogs from Latin America, but they are only distant relatives. The likeness is an example of convergent evolution.1
Unlike most frogs, which are active at night, it hunts during the day.1
Its bright colours and its toxins are a warning system, a pattern called aposematism.1
Its family arrived on Madagascar an estimated 76 to 87 million years ago.1
It is one of the largest species in the Mantella genus, with only some Mantella viridis individuals reaching a similar size.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: Baron's mantella is the same as the painted mantella, and is sometimes called a painted mantella.
Ukweli: The two are distinct species. They look alike, but the painted mantella has a sky-blue throat marking that Baron's mantella lacks.1
