Summary

edit
Description The golden mantella frog from Madagascar is astonishingly bold for its size. Like the poisonous Dart Frogs of the Americas, mantellas are active during the day and warn away predators with their bright skin color. But the skin secretions of mantellas are not especially toxic. These brightly colored frogs gain protection by looking dangerous. There are times when they have to back up their threatening looks. When a male golden mantilla is ready to breed, he makes a chirping call to entice the female. If another male follows with his own call, the two suitors often begin a wrestling match, each trying to flip the other onto its back. When the female appears, the winner moves toward her.
