Mantellas Frogs.
By Tim Halliday
Mantellas are small, brightly-coloured frogs found only on Madagascar. Like the New World dart-poison frogs, they are active by day, are brightly-coloured and have toxic skin secretions, derived from their insect prey. Of the 16 species in the genus Mantella, 12 are threatened with extinction to varying degrees. Their decline is primarily due to the extensive deforestation that has occurred in Madagascar. As they make popular pets, they are also threatened by collectors.
