Rohemust noolemürgikonn, Dendrobates auratus

Rohemust noolemürgikonn, Dendrobates auratus, Green and black poison dart frog, konn
Väike, aga ohtlik. Vähem kui kahe sentimeetri pikkune rohemust noolemürgikonn suudab vajadusel inimese südame seisata. Noolemürgikonnade puhul on huvitav see, et vangistuses nende mürgisus kaob. Seetõttu arvatakse, et ta saab oma mürgi lestadest ja putukatest, kellest ta toitub. Foto tehtud Carara Rahvuspargis, Costa Ricas.
Tiny but dangerous. Less than 2 cm long but green and black poison dart frog can stop a human heart. What is interesting with this dart frog is that it loses its toxicity in captivity. This has led to believe that the green-and-black poison frog actually takes its poison from the mites and other insects on which it feeds. The photo is taken in Carara National Park, Costa Rica.
