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.
