The red-bellied newt is a small amphibian with a brownish-black back and a bright red belly. It lives in coastal woodlands in northern California, mostly on land. Its skin is poisonous, so it is important to leave it alone.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Lengte

7 cm tot 19 cm (2,8 in tot 7,5 in)1

Topspoed

omtrent 0,5 km/h (0,31 mph)

Hoe om dit te herken

Brownish-black upper body with grainy skin1
Tomato-red underbelly1
Length of about 7 to 9 cm from nose to vent, and 14 to 19 cm including the tail1
Males often have a dark, broad patch across the vent; females do not1
Breeding males have smooth skin and a flattened tail1

Word dikwels verwar met: Other coastal newts are similar in shape. The red-bellied newt can be told apart by its red belly and by the lack of yellow in its eyes.1

Gifkrag

Gif in sy vel

Sy vel is giftig. Dit is gevaarlik om aan te raak, te lek of te eet.

Wat doen sy gif as jy daaraan raak of dit eet?

The red-bellied newt is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin, eggs and embryos contain tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. There is enough of it to potentially kill an adult human.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: ErnstigAs iemand daaraan raak of dit eet, moet hy dokter toe gaan. Sterftes is baie skaars.

The newt's skin is poisonous to touch and to eat. Its toxin is strong enough to potentially kill an adult human. It is also nearly inedible, and few animals eat it.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When disturbed, it pulls its head and tail back to show its bright-red underside, which warns predators that it is poisonous.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand aan een geraak het: was die hande goed en moenie aan die oë of mond raak nie. As 'n kind of troeteldier een gelek of geëet het: bel 'n gifsentrum of jou noodnommer.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Like other newts, they can regrow several body parts, including their limbs, eyes, hearts, intestines, jaws and damaged spinal cords.1

They can find their way back to the same spot in a stream over several miles of rugged terrain, probably by using their sense of smell.1

Red-bellied newts can live for 20 to 30 years.1

Adults leave the water and live underground until they are ready to breed, which usually happens after four to six years.1

Females do not breed every year, unlike the males.1
