Kokoe poison frog
May lason sa balat nitoKinakain: Mga insektoNakalalason, hindi makamandagThe Kokoe poison frog is a small, brightly striped frog that lives on the forest floor of western Colombia. It is one of the most poisonous frogs in the world. Its skin holds a toxin that can be deadly, so it should never be handled.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Black back, sometimes with orange patches.1
- Green, yellow, orange or brownish gold stripes along each side of the body.1
- Black belly with blue or green dots.1
- The smallest of the poison dart frogs in its genus, Phyllobates.1
- Two forms exist: a smaller form with large stripes and a larger form with small stripes.1
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
This frog is poisonous rather than venomous, because its toxin is held in its skin and does not come from a bite or sting. The toxin, batrachotoxin, is a steroidal alkaloid. It keeps the sodium channels in nerve and muscle cells permanently open, which stops the cells from resetting. The result is paralysis, and often death, as affected muscles stay locked in a contracted state.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: NapakapanganibKaya nitong pumatay ng taong hindi nagamot.Wild frogs are extremely deadly to humans, and the toxin can be fatal in doses as small as 100 μg. Frogs raised in captivity are generally non-toxic.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
It releases its toxin from skin glands only when under stress.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
It is known as the third most poisonous frog in the world.1
Indigenous peoples of Colombia have used its poison on hunting darts.1
Unlike many other dart frogs, males do not wrestle. Rivals face off and call loudly until one backs down.1
Its mating calls are a loud, bird-like whirring twitter, which can last up to 45 seconds.1
Unlike other Phyllobates species, it does not breed in coconut shells. It lays its eggs in narrow tubes on the ground instead.1
Myth buster
Mito: All poison frogs make their own poison.
Totoo: These frogs probably do not make batrachotoxin themselves. They take it in from their diet of beetles, millipedes and flies, and from the leaf litter. That is why captive frogs are generally non-toxic.1
