Greening's frog
Ameva anobuthiSinoshevu, asinabo ubuthi bokuluma noma bokuhlabaGreening's frog is a small tree frog that lives in the dry thorn scrub of eastern Brazil. It is venomous: it has spines on its skull that can inject venom when it headbutts. It is special because it survives a semi-desert climate by hiding in tree hollows, rock cracks and bromeliads.1

Indlela yokusibona
Amandla obuthi
Ameva abukhali aphethe ubuthi. Ukusinyathela noma ukusibamba kubuhlungu.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Its skull spines inject venom into other animals, or into a human hand, when it headbutts. Its skin secretions contain steroids and alkaloids, which in laboratory tests caused a powerful painful effect and swelling in mouse cells. In the wild these secretions act as a chemical defence against predators.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.Senzani uma sesabile?
It hides in a tree hollow, rock crevice or bromeliad, sealing the entrance with its head, and it defends itself by headbutting with its skull spines.1
Uma ameva aso ekugwaza
- Uma umuntu esithintile: geza izandla kahle futhi ungathinti amehlo noma umlomo. Uma ingane noma isilwane sasekhaya sisikhothile noma sisidlile: shayela isikhungo soshevu noma inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma ameva aso ekugwaza: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
Unlike poison dart frogs, which only secrete poison from their skin, this frog can inject venom through spines on its skull.1
The skin of its head is fused to the skull to form a casque, a hard helmet-like structure.1
In laboratory tests, its skin secretions also slowed the growth of mouse fibroblast and melanoma cells.1
It has a tough, water-resistant skin and a low metabolic rate, which help it survive the dry semi-desert climate.1
When the rains start and the streams run with water, males set up territories near the water and call to attract females.1
It shares its headbutting, spine-injecting defence with another frog, Nyctimantis brunoi.1
