Harlequin poison frog
May lason sa balat nitoKinakain: Mga insektoNakalalason, hindi makamandagThe 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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: Some frogs that were once classed as this species were separated into new species in 2018: Oophaga anchicayensis, Oophaga andresi and Oophaga solanensis.1
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
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
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MalalaKung may humawak o kumain nito, magpatingin sa doktor. Napakabihira ng namamatay.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
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
The tadpoles cannot feed on their own. They are obligate egg-feeders and will starve without the unfertilised eggs their mother provides.1
A parent carries the tadpoles to tiny water pools, often found in the axil of a bromeliad plant, where they develop.1
Histrionicotoxins are hard to make in a lab. Synthesising them has been the subject of many different attempts.1
Harlequin poison frogs are among the most difficult poison dart frogs to raise in captivity.1
Adults are active on the ground during the day and retreat to refuge by mid-afternoon.1
