怎样认出它

The body is earthy orange to pure yellow.1
The forelimbs and hindlegs are black or dark blue.1
It is one of the largest poison dart frogs, but it is smaller and more slender than the golden poison frog.1
Juveniles are brown or black and become more vibrant as they mature.1
It is active in the daytime and moves across the forest floor in quick hops.1

常被误认为： It is often mistaken for the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis), which looks similar. The black-legged poison frog is smaller, more slender and less poisonous. Juvenile golden poison frogs can also look like it. It also resembles the 'netted' colour form of D. leucomelas.1

毒力

皮肤里有毒

它的皮肤有毒。摸、舔或吃都很危险。

它的毒会造成什么？

This frog is poisonous rather than venomous, because its toxin comes out through its skin. The toxin is batrachotoxin, a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. It stops nerve signals from getting through, which causes paralysis, heart failure and breathing failure. There are no known treatments or antidotes for it.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

It is one of the few frogs confirmed to have killed humans. Between 2 and 200 micrograms of its toxin is enough to kill a person. Its toxin is weaker than that of the golden poison frog.1

它害怕时会做什么？

Its bright colours warn predators that it is poisonous, and its skin releases toxins through pores.1

如果有人碰了或吃了它

如果有人碰了它：好好洗手，不要碰眼睛或嘴巴。如果孩子或宠物舔了或吃了它：打电话给中毒急救中心或急救电话。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果你碰了或吃了它：不要揉眼睛或嘴巴，洗手并就医。

它不是冲着你来的。它的毒只是为了不被吃掉。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

Some Chocó people in Colombia use the poison from these frogs to tip hunting darts for blowguns.1

The male carries the tadpoles on his back. Some of the toxin rubs off onto them, so a predator that eats one would be poisoned.1

The frog cannot make its own toxin. It gets the chemicals it needs from its diet and its surroundings.1

Unlike most frogs, which are active at night, this frog is active during the daytime. Its bright colours are easier to see then, which helps warn predators.1

The male's high-pitched trill attracts females. Brighter males are more attractive, and their colour can help them win mates.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： That it is the most toxic dart frog in the world.

真相： It is the second most toxic dart frog. The golden poison frog is more toxic.1
