Baron's mantella is a small, brightly coloured frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its skin contains toxic chemicals that make it harmful to predators, and its bright colours warn them to stay away.1

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

Sihlala

Madagascar only. East-Central Madagascar, inland from the east coast, from Fierenana south to Andringitra.1

IAfrika

Ekhaya

Lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, moist montane forest, rivers and degraded former forest. It usually lives at 600 to 1200 metres above sea level.1

Ubude

2,4 cm ukuya ku-3,2 cm (0,9 in ukuya ku-1,3 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-3,5 km/h (2,2 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

It is a very active forager that mainly eats ants. It also eats beetles, spiders and mites, and it eats more large arthropods than any other Mantella species.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Has a light line above the eyes, called a rostral line.1
Hind limbs are orange with irregular black stripes, giving a tiger-like pattern.1
Front limbs range from light green to bright orange or yellow, with a large rounded flank blotch.1
Adults are 2.4 to 3.2 cm long, and females are slightly larger than males.1
Males call during the day, and it is an active hunter in daylight.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: It is often confused with the painted mantella (Mantella madagascariensis), which has a similar look. The painted mantella has a sky-blue, horseshoe-shaped marking on its throat. Baron's mantella does not have the flashmarks on its lower hind limbs.1

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

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

It does not inject venom. Its skin contains alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals it gets from eating mites. These make it harmful to predators that eat it, and they can cause sickness. The strength of the toxin varies over time and by location, and frogs in remote populations may be more potent.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.

Its toxicity can vary, and careless handling is discouraged.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Its bright colours warn predators that eating it could be dangerous and cause sickness.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

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

Its toxicity comes from the mites it eats, so its poison depends on its diet.1

Mantella frogs look like poison dart frogs from Latin America, but they are only distant relatives. The likeness is an example of convergent evolution.1

Unlike most frogs, which are active at night, it hunts during the day.1

Its bright colours and its toxins are a warning system, a pattern called aposematism.1

Its family arrived on Madagascar an estimated 76 to 87 million years ago.1

It is one of the largest species in the Mantella genus, with only some Mantella viridis individuals reaching a similar size.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Baron's mantella is the same as the painted mantella, and is sometimes called a painted mantella.

Inyaniso: The two are distinct species. They look alike, but the painted mantella has a sky-blue throat marking that Baron's mantella lacks.1
