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

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

Northeastern and eastern Brazil, reaching as far south as northern Minas Gerais state1

It lives in the caatinga, a semi-desert of shrubland and thorn forest with a short wet season and a long hot dry season. It is usually found on plants, including bromeliads, and on rock outcrops. It breeds in temporary streams.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Miiba yenye sumu

Miiba mikali hubeba sumu. Kumkanyaga au kumshika kunauma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

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

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Miiba yake ikikuchoma

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.
Miiba yake ikikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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

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

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

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

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

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