Baron's mantella
May lason sa balat nitoKinakain: Mga insektoNakalalason, hindi makamandagBaron'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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
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

Kung may humawak o kumain nito
- Kung may humawak sa isa: hugasang mabuti ang mga kamay at huwag hawakan ang mata o bibig. Kung may batang o alagang hayop na dumila o kumain ng isa: tawagan ang poison control center o ang numero pang-emergency.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung nahawakan o nakain mo ito: huwag kuskusin ang mata o bibig mo, hugasan ang mga kamay mo at kumuha ng tulong medikal.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ang lason nito ay para lang walang kumain dito. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
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
Myth buster
Mito: Baron's mantella is the same as the painted mantella, and is sometimes called a painted mantella.
Totoo: The two are distinct species. They look alike, but the painted mantella has a sky-blue throat marking that Baron's mantella lacks.1
