The tomato frog is a bright orange-red frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its colour is a warning: its skin produces a sticky white substance that can cause an allergic reaction in people. It is also a species of conservation concern, because many have been taken for the pet trade.1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: The tomato frog is closely related to D. guineti, and the two are often confused. It is not yet clear how far the tomato frog's range extends, or whether it is a separate species or a variant of D. guineti.1

Lan la daŋar bi ci yaramam di def?

The tomato frog is poisonous to touch rather than venomous, as it does not inject venom. A white substance secreted from its skin acts as a glue and can produce an allergic reaction in humans.1

The skin secretion can cause an allergic reaction in people.1

Lan lay def bu tiitee?

When threatened, it inflates its body to look larger, and its skin secretion acts as a sticky glue to deter predators.1
