New species of ‘pumpkin toadlet’ poisonous frog discovered in Brazil Harry Cockburn © Provided by The Independent It’s poisonous, it glows green under ultraviolet light and it’s bright orange. Say hello to the tiny pumpkin toadlet. This is a new species of poisonous frog found by researchers in the mountains of Brazil. There are many species already known which fall into the pumpkin toadlet category - some of which are among the smallest frogs in the world. A research team studying the differences between populations of pumpkin toadlets discovered the new species in the southern Mantiqueira mountains in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest.

A new species of cute but poisonous pumpkin toads discovered in Brazil CNN 4/30/2021 By Megan Marples, CNN © Nunes et al, 2021, PLOS ONE/Eureka These bright orange amphibians secrete a poison that can be dangerous to humans. A new species of tiny, neon orange toadlets was discovered in the mountains of Brazil. This amphibian measures in at just under an inch and is a part of the pumpkin toadlet genus, a collection of tiny, bright-colored toads, according to a study published Wednesday in PLOS One. First believed to belong to an existing species, the toadlet was first found in 2016 in the Mantiqueira mountain range of Brazil, said study author Ivan Nunes, professor in the department of biological and environmental sciences at São Paulo State University in Brazil.

Edelcio Muscat Pumpkin toadlets are poisonous frogs with brilliant orange skin that are small enough to fit on a thumbnail – and researchers have uncovered a new species of these vibrant amphibians. Ivan Nunes at São Paulo State University in Brazil and his colleagues suspected a local toadlet species ( Brachycephalus ephippium) was more than it appeared to be. Unusually widespread for a pumpkin toadlet, the species was found throughout the south-eastern coastline of Brazil. The team suspected that the wide-ranging frogs were actually multiple species with smaller ranges. Nunes and his team collected wild toadlets from the Project Dacnis preserve near São Paulo, measuring and comparing the physical features of 276 frogs. The team also made 76 field surveys between October 2018 and September 2019 to study toadlet behaviour and habitat use.
