Dendrobates tinctorius

Kuhusu jina: The specific name tinctorius does not refer to its colours. It comes from legends of some indigenous tribes, who said they used frog poisons to make green parrot feathers grow in different colours.1

Vyura wa sumu, chura na mijusi-maji

Sumu ndani ya ngoziHula: WaduduSumu ya kugusa au kula, hadungi sumu

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

The dyeing poison dart frog is a small, brightly marked frog from the rainforests of north-eastern South America. It is one of the largest poison dart frogs and one of the most colourful, with more than 30 recognised colour forms. Its skin contains toxins, so it is a frog to admire from a distance.1

Anadunga sumu au ana sumu ya kugusa? Wanyama wanaodunga sumu huingiza sumu kwa kuuma au kudunga. Wanyama wenye sumu ya kugusa au kula hudhuru wakiguswa au kuliwa. Huyu ni wa aina ya pili.

Anaishi

Amerika Kusini

Nyumbani

It lives in patches of tropical primary rainforest, mostly in hilly or upland areas, at altitudes up to 600 m, though some populations are found at sea level. It is often found in canopy gaps, where trees have fallen, and it uses water-filled spaces on fallen trees for its tadpoles.1

Urefu

3.5 cm hadi 7 cm (1.4 in hadi 2.8 in)1

Kasi ya juu

Hula nini?

It eats small arthropods, mainly ants and mites. It mostly stays on the ground, where catching prey is easier, though it sometimes climbs trees.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

The body is mostly black, with an irregular pattern of yellow or whitish stripes along the back, upper flanks and head.1
The lower flanks, belly and throat have irregular blue stripes, and the legs are blue with small black specks.1
The blue ranges from pale sky blue to royal, cobalt or navy blue, and some colour forms are mostly yellow, mostly blue or mostly whitish.1
Adults usually measure around 5 cm from snout to vent. Females have circular toe discs and arched backs, while males are smaller and more slender, with heart-shaped toe discs and curved backs.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Sumu ndani ya ngozi

Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its skin secretions contain alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals that interfere with nerve and muscle tissue. They can cause pain, cramping and stiffness, and in severe cases locomotor difficulties, convulsions, paralysis or death. In a reported case in Brazil, two men who handled the frog felt numbness within about 20 minutes, and the symptoms had gone after 40 minutes.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

The frog is toxic if eaten, and its skin toxins can affect anyone who handles it. In a reported case, two adult male photographers in the Brazilian Amazon both had mild numbness that passed within 40 minutes. Their symptoms could have been worse with longer contact or if there had been a wound where they touched the frog.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

Its bright colours warn predators that its skin secretions are unpleasant, and predators that bite it tend to link the colours with the pain.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

Ukweli

It does not make its own poison. It gets the alkaloids from the ants and mites it eats.1

More than 30 colour forms, or morphs, have been recognised, and most are tied to a particular place.1

It is among the largest and most variably coloured of all poison dart frogs.1

Despite the huge variation in colour, the genetic differences between its populations are very small.1

It often lives in canopy gaps in the Amazon rainforest, where fallen trees hold water for its tadpoles.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu
