The harlequin poison frog is a small, brightly marked frog that lives on the forest floor of western Colombia. Its skin carries strong toxins, so it is one of the poison dart frogs that should never be handled. It is now critically endangered because its rainforest home is being destroyed.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.

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Background colour ranges from light to dark brown.1
  • Usually has a vivid, bright spot on its back.1
  • Small, with an average snout-to-vent length of about 3.3 cm.1
  • Active on the forest floor, feeding on the ground after sunrise and hiding under leaf litter or on fallen logs by 16:00.1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Some frogs that were once classed as this species were separated into new species in 2018: Oophaga anchicayensis, Oophaga andresi and Oophaga solanensis.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Sumu ndani ya ngozi

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

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The frog produces histrionicotoxins, which are cardiotoxins, meaning they affect the heart. These compounds act as potent blockers of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, the sites that receive nerve signals at muscle and nerve junctions. They also affect sodium and potassium channels, though much less strongly.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaMtu akimgusa au kumla, aende kwa daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

The frog's toxins can be dangerous. Wild-caught frogs may be toxic and dangerous to handle, and they often have a much higher fatality rate in captivity.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

1

The tadpoles cannot feed on their own. They are obligate egg-feeders and will starve without the unfertilised eggs their mother provides.1

2

A parent carries the tadpoles to tiny water pools, often found in the axil of a bromeliad plant, where they develop.1

3

Histrionicotoxins are hard to make in a lab. Synthesising them has been the subject of many different attempts.1

4

Harlequin poison frogs are among the most difficult poison dart frogs to raise in captivity.1

5

Adults are active on the ground during the day and retreat to refuge by mid-afternoon.1
