Animal Facts
The frog's colouration acts as a warning to potential predators that it's toxic. The toxins on the frog's skin causes intense pain and swelling.
The frog's natural range is very small 10km² so it's vulnerable to habitat loss through deforestation.
Overexploitation has been a threat to the frog – the pet trade capitalise on its unique colouration and patterning.
Lehmann's poison frog tadpoles often grow into froglets in small pockets of water in hollow trees or bamboo branches.
The tadpoles are also cannibalistic, so the father will separate the eggs before they hatch.
