Golfodulcean poison frog

Indlela yokusibona

• The body is black, but it can look glittery because of pigments in the skin.1
• Two stripes run down the back from just above the vent to the tip of the nose. They are usually fire orange, but can be golden, yellow or green.1
• The legs are mottled blue, and the sides often have a blue or green marble pattern.1
• It is a fairly large poison frog for its genus, with a smooth, sloping back. Its shoulder blades are usually hidden under the skin, so it can look a little plump.1
• Females are typically larger than males. Adults reach about 3.5 cm long.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: The related P. bicolor and P. terribilis have visible shoulder blades under the skin, which the Golfodulcean poison frog usually lacks, so it looks smoother and rounder.1
