Giant leaf frog

Phyllomedusa bicolor

只是會痛不要碰會痛，但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。

皮膚裡有毒有毒（碰或吃會中毒），不是有毒液

The giant leaf frog is a large tree frog with lime green skin and a white or cream belly. It lives in the rainforests of the Amazon basin in South America. Its skin releases chemicals that act as a defence against predators.1

有毒還是有毒液？有毒液的動物會用咬或螫把毒液注入身體。有毒的動物則是碰到或吃下去會有害。這種動物是有毒的（碰或吃會中毒）。

毒素力量

皮膚裡有毒

牠的皮膚有毒。碰、舔或吃牠都很危險。

牠的毒素有什麼作用？

The giant leaf frog's skin secretion contains opioid peptides, including deltorphin and dermorphin. Its skin peptides act as a chemical defence against predators. In kambo rituals, where the secretion is used, it induces intense vomiting.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

牠害怕時會做什麼？

When threatened, its skin produces peptides that act as a chemical defence against predators.1

如果有人碰了或吃了牠

如果有人碰了牠：把手徹底洗乾淨，不要碰眼睛或嘴巴。如果小孩或寵物舔了或吃了牠：打給毒物諮詢中心或打緊急電話。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果你碰了或吃了牠：不要揉眼睛或摸嘴巴，把手洗乾淨，並且就醫。

牠不是想來抓你。牠的毒只是為了不讓別的動物吃掉牠。更多安全知識

小知識

Its skin secretion is known as Vacina do sapo, or frog vaccine, and is used in a ritual called kambo or sapo.1

Up to 61% of the eggs of the giant leaf frog are eaten by predators.1

Males fight rivals for mating rights by using their heads to separate a rival male from a female, and by pushing with their hind legs.1

Males are more likely to be targeted by predators during mating season, because their loud fights can be heard easily.1

Eggs are eaten by rove beetles, phorid flies, possibly tufted capuchins and banded cat-eyed snakes, because they are a source of protein.1

學名: Phyllomedusa bicolor
類群: 箭毒蛙、蟾蜍和蠑螈
家人: Phyllomedusidae2
排序: Anura
各大洲: 南美洲
寶寶: The female and male build a leaf-nest above forest pools and lay eggs in a gelatinous mass about 70 cm above the water. The eggs hatch in about 14 days, and the tadpoles fall into the water to develop into adult frogs.1
牠在野外的狀況: Least Concern1
