Lehmann's poison frog
May lason sa balat nitoKinakain: Mga insektoNakalalason, hindi makamandagLehmann's poison frog is a small, brightly marked frog that lives only in a small part of western Colombia. Its skin produces strong toxins, and its bright colours warn predators to leave it alone. It is critically endangered, so it matters for conservation as well as for safety.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Black or dark brown background with two bright, broad bands of colour round the body1
- Coloured bands on the arms and legs, and on the belly1
- Red, orange or yellow colour forms; each frog has its own unique pattern1
- Males have silver-tipped toes1
- Adults measure 31 to 36 mm from snout to vent1
Madalas mapagkamalang: The harlequin poison frog (Oophaga histrionicus) looks very similar and can interbreed with it. Scientists still debate whether Lehmann's poison frog is a separate species. The main difference is that Lehmann's frog lacks histrionicotoxins, a type of toxin found in the harlequin frog. Males also have calls that differ between northern and southern populations.1
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
It is not venomous. Its skin produces toxins, including alkaloids such as pumiliotoxins, that can be very poisonous. Frogs bred in captivity are not poisonous, because their diet lacks the chemicals needed to make the toxins.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MalalaKung may humawak o kumain nito, magpatingin sa doktor. Napakabihira ng namamatay.The skin toxins can be very poisonous to predators, and some native tribes of Colombia used them to coat their darts. Frogs in captivity are not poisonous.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
Its bright, vivid colours act as a warning to predators that it is inedible.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
In the wild, this frog is toxic, but frogs kept in captivity lose their toxicity because the toxins come from their diet.1
Tadpoles in the same pool may eat each other, so the male carries them to separate water pools.1
The male is the one who guards the eggs and carries the tadpoles on his back for two to four weeks.1
Its skin toxins are being studied for possible medicinal uses.1
Its bright colours are a warning, a strategy called aposematism.1
Myth buster
Mito: Lehmann's poison frog is always poisonous.
Totoo: Wild frogs are toxic, but frogs bred in captivity are not, because their diet lacks the chemicals needed to make the poison.1
