Alpine salamander
The alpine salamander is a dark, slow-moving amphibian that lives high in the mountains of Europe. It spends its whole life on land, sheltering under stones, logs and in rock crevices. It produces toxic compounds from its skin, which help protect it from predators.1

Askotan honekin nahasten da: Lanza's alpine salamander (Salamandra lanzai) is a similar species that lives in one small area of the western Alps. The Corsican fire salamander (Salamandra corsica) is the alpine salamander's closest related species.1
Pozoi-indarra
Bere azala toxikoa da. Arriskutsua da ukitzea, miazkatzea edo jatea.
Zer egiten du bere toxinak?
Alpine salamanders produce toxic compounds from their skin. These compounds may protect them from predators and from microbes.1
Zein arriskutsua da pertsonentzat?
Arriskua pertsonentzat: ArinaErle-ziztada bat bezala edo gutxiago. Ia kaltegabea pertsonentzat.Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?
Their yellow markings are thought to be a warning colour that deters predators, and the pure black colouring may also warn some predators off.1
Norbaitek ukitu edo jan badu
- Norbaitek bat ukitu badu: garbitu eskuak ondo eta ez ukitu begiak edo ahoa. Haur edo maskota batek bat miazkatu edo jan badu: deitu zure intoxikazio-zentrora edo larrialdi-zenbakira.
Deitu beti lehenik zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911). Lehen sorospenei buruzko orientabide orokorra da hau, ez mediku-aholkua. Lehen sorospenen oinarriak
Egon seguru
- Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
- Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
- Ukitu edo jan baduzu: ez igurtzi begiak edo ahoa, garbitu eskuak eta lortu mediku-laguntza.
Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia ezerk jan ez dezan baino ez du. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak
Alpine salamanders are fully terrestrial, so they never need water to breed. Unlike many salamanders, their young do not develop as larvae in water.1
Young snakes, especially juvenile European adders, are a notable predator. In some locations, alpine salamanders make up just under half of these snakes' diet.1
They mark their territory with faecal pellets. Their scent tells other salamanders whether a pellet was left by a member of the same sex and species, and warns them that the site is already claimed.1
They are very stationary animals. The furthest a tracked individual was seen to travel in one summer was 12 metres.1
Their colour varies a great deal. Some populations are completely black, while others have bright yellow, white or grey spotting.1
Alpine salamanders cannot regulate their own body temperature, so losing a shelter can be extremely costly, and even fatal.1
