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. Its skin contains toxic alkaloids, which it gets from the ants and mites it eats and then stores in its skin. These toxins act as a defence against predators.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

它害怕时会做什么？

Its bright, warning colours tell predators that its skin is unpalatable, and it is toxic if attacked.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

Its toxins come from its diet, so a frog living in cleared pastureland has fewer toxins than one living in rainforest, because it eats fewer kinds of ants, mites and termites.1

Females have much larger home ranges than males and can climb up to 10 metres, while males can only climb up to 2 metres.1

Because it lays its eggs on land, it lays fewer and larger eggs than frogs that lay their eggs in water, so each egg has more resources to survive.1

Its bright colours are a warning, which is called aposematic coloration.1
