Golden mantellas, like other amphibians, breathe primarily through their skin and lungs. They have permeable skin that allows for the exchange of gases, enabling them to absorb oxygen directly from their environment. In addition to cutaneous respiration, they also use their lungs to breathe air, especially when they are active. This dual method of respiration is crucial for their survival in their humid habitats.
The Golden mantella frogs are native to Madagascar off the coast of Africa.
