Tomato frog
Ushevu esikhumbeni sasoSidla: IzinambuzaneSinoshevu, asinabo ubuthi bokuluma noma bokuhlabaThe tomato frog is a bright orange-red frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its colour is a warning: its skin produces a sticky white substance that can cause an allergic reaction in people. It is also a species of conservation concern, because many have been taken for the pet trade.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Vibrant orange-red colour on the back1
- Females have brighter red or orange tones and a pale underside1
- Some individuals have black spots on the throat1
- Females are much larger than males1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: The tomato frog is closely related to D. guineti, and the two are often confused. It is not yet clear how far the tomato frog's range extends, or whether it is a separate species or a variant of D. guineti.1
Amandla oshevu
Isikhumba saso sinoshevu. Kuyingozi ukusithinta, ukusikhotha noma ukusidla.
Ushevu waso wenzani?
The tomato frog is poisonous to touch rather than venomous, as it does not inject venom. A white substance secreted from its skin acts as a glue and can produce an allergic reaction in humans.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.The skin secretion can cause an allergic reaction in people.1
Senzani uma sesabile?
When threatened, it inflates its body to look larger, and its skin secretion acts as a sticky glue to deter predators.1
Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile
- 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 usithintile noma usidlile: ungahlikihli amehlo noma umlomo wakho, geza izandla zakho futhi uthole usizo lwezokwelapha.
Asikuzingeli wena. Ushevu waso ukhona nje ukuze kungabikho okusidlayo. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
Females are much larger than males, reaching up to 230 g, while males reach only about 41 g.1
Each female can lay between 1,000 and 1,500 eggs at once, on the surface of the water.1

Tadpoles turn into yellow juveniles about 45 days after the eggs were laid.1
