Red-bellied newt
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

Nola ezagutu
- 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
Askotan honekin nahasten da: 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
Pozoi-indarra
Bere azala toxikoa da. Arriskutsua da ukitzea, miazkatzea edo jatea.
Zer egiten du bere toxinak?
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
Zein arriskutsua da pertsonentzat?
Arriskua pertsonentzat: LarriaNorbaitek ukitzen edo jaten badu, joan medikuarengana. Heriotzak oso arraroak dira.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
Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?
When disturbed, it pulls its head and tail back to show its bright-red underside, which warns predators that it is poisonous.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
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
