Question

Is the golden mantella frog poisonous?

Answer 1

The Golden Mantella Frog, Mantella aurantiaca, is listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This species has a very restricted distribution in high altitude swamps of east-central Madagascar. It is often associated with screw pine forests. The female lays eggs on the ground and the rain washes them into ponds or swamps where they develop. The Golden Mantella ranges in color from yellow, orange, to red, with a length of up to 31 mm. Males have white femoral glands on the undersides of their thighs. Like poison dart frogs, the Golden Mantella retains toxins from the insects they eat so that they themselves are toxic too.
