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？

It is poisonous rather than venomous, because its toxins work on contact with the skin and are not injected. The toxin is water-soluble and affects the nerve cells of anyone who touches it. Large doses can be fatal within 20 to 30 minutes, after convulsions that stop breathing and blood circulation.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重如果有人碰了或吃了它，要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

Its toxin affects the nerve cells of anyone who comes into contact with it, and large doses can be fatal. Because it is critically endangered, the frog should be left alone in the wild.1

它害怕时会做什么？

When a predator approaches, it waves and lifts its foot to show its bright colours, which warn of its toxicity. If the predator keeps coming, the waving and calls increase in speed and volume.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

It is able to communicate by waving its feet, a bit like semaphore, as well as by sound.1

It is an 'earless' frog with no eardrums, yet it can still hear sounds and work out where they come from.1

Its toxins are powerful enough that some predators avoid it, though a few snakes can cope with its poison.1

Tadpoles have black and gold colouring, which helps protect them from the sun.1

It was filmed in the wild for the last time in 2006 for the BBC series Life in Cold Blood.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： It is a frog.

真相： Despite its common name, it is a true toad, a member of the family Bufonidae.1
