Anthony's poison arrow frog is a small, brightly marked frog that lives on the forest floor in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It is poisonous rather than venomous: its skin carries a very strong toxin, so it should never be touched or handled. Scientists have used a chemical from this frog to study the nervous system.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

This frog is poisonous, not venomous. Its skin contains epibatidine, an extremely toxic substance similar to nicotine, which acts on the nerves. It is not used in medicine because it is too toxic for human use, and it is now used only for research.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

The frog's skin toxin is described as extremely toxic. Contact with the skin is the main concern, and the frog should not be handled.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

  • Ukuba umntu usichukumisile: hlamba izandla kakuhle kwaye ungachukumisi amehlo okanye umlomo. Ukuba umntwana okanye isilwanyana sasekhaya sisikhothile okanye sisityile: tsalela iziko lezityhefu okanye inombolo kaxakeka.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

Epibatidine, one of the most toxic substances found in this frog, was first derived from it and named after it.1

2

The toxin appears to come from the frog's diet, because frogs raised in captivity had none.1

3

The male, not the female, carries the tadpoles on his back to water.1

4

Frogs collected from different habitats had different levels of toxin.1

The female lays a clutch of 15 to 40 eggs on the ground among leaf litter. The male guards the eggs until they hatch in about two weeks, then carries the tadpoles on his back to a suitable water body, where they develop into frogs in about sixty days.1
