The harlequin poison frog is a small, brightly marked frog that lives on the forest floor of western Colombia. Its skin carries strong toxins, so it is one of the poison dart frogs that should never be handled. It is now critically endangered because its rainforest home is being destroyed.1

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

It lives on the ground in tropical rainforests, among fallen branches and leaf litter, usually between 300 and 700 metres above sea level. Wild-caught frogs are also sold in the international pet trade.1

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

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

The frog produces histrionicotoxins, which are cardiotoxins, meaning they affect the heart. These compounds act as potent blockers of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, the sites that receive nerve signals at muscle and nerve junctions. They also affect sodium and potassium channels, though much less strongly.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

The frog's toxins can be dangerous. Wild-caught frogs may be toxic and dangerous to handle, and they often have a much higher fatality rate in captivity.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

The tadpoles cannot feed on their own. They are obligate egg-feeders and will starve without the unfertilised eggs their mother provides.1

A parent carries the tadpoles to tiny water pools, often found in the axil of a bromeliad plant, where they develop.1

Histrionicotoxins are hard to make in a lab. Synthesising them has been the subject of many different attempts.1

Harlequin poison frogs are among the most difficult poison dart frogs to raise in captivity.1

Adults are active on the ground during the day and retreat to refuge by mid-afternoon.1
