The Mantellidae are a family of the order Anura. These frogs are found only in Madagascar and Mayotte. The habits, habitats, and appearance of these frogs are widely variable. Most species are terrestrial, though some are arboreal (the genus ''Boophis'' is morphologically similar to the tree frogs), or aquatic. Body size ranges from 3 to 10 cm in length. The genus ''Mantella'' has many similarities with the South American poison dart frogs. They are small, aposematically coloured, and secrete alkaloid toxins. Some members of this group are kept in captivity as pet frogs. Apart from the genera assigned to the three subfamilies, the placement of ''Tsingymantis'' Glaw, Hoegg & Vences, 2006 is still rather uncertain.〔 ==References== == External links == * ( Description of family and list of genera and species ) * ( Mantellidae taxonomy ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mantellidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
