The mimic poison frog is a small, brightly coloured frog from the rainforests of north-central eastern Peru. It is one of the best known dart frogs, and it is special because different populations copy the colours of other poison frogs. Scientists have studied it closely for its unusual family life.1

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

Sihlala

Ekhaya

It lives in primary and old-growth secondary rainforests, between 200 and 1200 metres above sea level. Each male is territorial and usually works from one good plant that it retreats to.1

Sitya ntoni?

It eats ants, mites and other small invertebrates, including flies, beetles and springtails.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Its colour depends on its population. The striped morph has stripes, the spotted morph is mainly blue-green (sometimes yellow), the banded morph has bands, and the varadero morph is a separate form.1
Each colour morph copies a different, closely related poison frog that lives in the same area.1
It is active twice a day, once early in the day and again later on.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The striped morph closely resembles the striped Ranitomeya variabilis in colour. The two species differ in family life: this frog provides biparental care and is monogamous, while R. variabilis provides only paternal care and is polygamous.1

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

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

Its skin contains pumiliotoxin B, a potent toxin. Because the frog is small, it can only secrete a limited amount of poison. Frogs kept in captivity do not make the toxin, so it probably comes from toxic insects and other invertebrates eaten in the wild.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Its toxicity is mild compared with other poison dart frogs. Its small size limits how much poison it can secrete.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

It is the first amphibian shown to be monogamous, meaning a pair stays together.1

After the eggs hatch, the female feeds the tadpoles with unfertilised eggs, which are a source of food.1

It evolved biparental care independently, so both parents look after the young.1

Male frogs attack other males that enter their territory.1

Kwiingcali zetyhefu

Igama lenzululwazi: Ranitomeya imitator
Iqela: Amasele atyhefayo, amaxoxo nee-newt
Usapho: Dendrobatidae2
Ucwangco: Anura
Amazwekazi: uMzantsi Melika
Iintsana: After mating, the female lays fertilised eggs on a plant, and the male guards them and carries each tadpole to a small pool of water in a plant. One study recorded 1 to 4 tadpoles per mated pair reaching the breeding pool.1
Ingozi ebantwini: 1 / 5: Kuthambile3
