The enigmatic golden mantella, madagascar's tiny jewel

The Golden Mantella is a critically endangered frog species found only in a small area of East Central Madagascar. Despite their small size, they are known for their vibrant colors and mildly toxic skin. These frogs are insectivores, primarily feeding on termites and fruit flies. While they face few natural predators, they are threatened by over-collection for the pet trade and habitat loss due to deforestation. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their unique swamp habitats.
