The family of Dendrobatidae (poison dart frogs) is well known in French Guiana, thanks in particular to the dyeing dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius<\/em>), because it is not unusual to see one on the reserve trails. But this month, the small dendrobate is honoured: Ranitomeya amazonica<\/em>. It is much smaller (1.5 cm for adults) and not unusual to observe it in the armpit of a bromeliad. These small amphibians use water that is retained to lay their eggs and raise their tadpoles. It alerts, too, its predators of its toxicity, using its bright colours.<\/p>\n

You can observe this frog around our new entrance building of the reserve. Bromeliads surrounding it provide an ideal habitat for these small dendrobates!<\/p>\n
