Strawberry poison-dart frog
Sumu ndani ya ngoziHula: WaduduSumu ya kugusa au kula, hadungi sumuThe strawberry poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives in Central America, from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica to northwestern Panama. Its skin contains toxins it gets from the mites and ants it eats, so it is poisonous to touch or eat. It is famous for having 15 to 30 different colour patterns.1

Nguvu ya sumu
Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
The frog has no venom and does not inject anything. Its skin holds alkaloid toxins, mainly pumiliotoxin 251D, which affects the heart and disrupts the sodium and potassium channels in cells. Predators that eat the frog can suffer convulsions, paralysis and death.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.Its toxins are harmful to animals that eat it, causing convulsions, paralysis and death.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
Its bright warning colours signal that it is toxic to predators.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 kasi gani?
Ukweli
Mothers feed their tadpoles unfertilised eggs, and the tadpoles need this diet to take in the toxins that protect them.1
Adult females carry about 53% more alkaloid toxins than adult males.1
Although it is the most toxic member of its genus, it is not the most poisonous of all poison dart frogs.1
Populations separated for more than 10,000 years can develop very different colour patterns.1
Only 5 to 12% of each clutch of eggs develops into tadpoles, which is why mothers invest so heavily in them.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: It is the most poisonous of all poison dart frogs.
Ukweli: It is the most toxic member of its genus, Oophaga, but it is not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids.1

- The female lays three to five eggs on a leaf or in a bromeliad. The male keeps the eggs moist, and the female carries the hatched tadpoles one at a time to small pools of water, then feeds each one unfertilised eggs.1
