Painted mantella

Mantella madagascariensis

無害對人無害。不用擔心。

皮膚裡有毒有毒（碰或吃會中毒），不是有毒液

The painted mantella is a tiny, stout frog with bright yellow, green and reddish-orange markings. It lives only on Madagascar, in forests and along streams. Its skin contains toxic chemicals, so it is best left alone.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）。

怎麼認出牠

Body is usually blackish, with the back commonly black.1
A green or yellowish stripe runs along the head.1
Thighs and upper arms are usually yellow to green, while the lower legs and feet are reddish-orange with blackish patches.1
Yellow-green blotches extend to the sides of the body close to the front legs.1
Markings are irregular and vary a lot, with black and yellow streaks.1

常被誤認為： It is closely related to Mantella pulchra and very similar to Mantella baroni. Some authors think Mantella madagascariensis is actually a group of hidden species that look alike.1

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？

It is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not inject venom. Its skin contains several toxic alkaloids, which are harmful chemicals that can affect the body.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

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

大約跟一根迴紋針一樣長可以在 100 秒內跑完 100 公尺（最快的人類需要 9.6 秒）

Painted mantella 跟「你」比起來有多大？

只是在你的瀏覽器裡做算術。什麼都不會儲存，也不會傳送到任何地方。

牠有多快？

一隻陸龜 大約 0,3 km/h (0,19 mph)

Painted mantella 大約 3,5 km/h (2,2 mph)

一個正在走路的人 大約 5 km/h (3,1 mph)

值得知道

小知識

Its skin contains several toxic alkaloids, and all Mantella species share this feature.1

Breeding takes place in streams, but the females lay their eggs on land.1

The frogs are active on the ground during the day.1

Some scientists think this frog may be a complex of cryptic species, meaning several separate species that look almost identical.1
