Eastern newt
Obutwa mu lususu lwakyoKirya: EnnyamaKya butwa, si kya busagwaThe eastern newt is a small amphibian that lives in eastern North America. Its bright orange young, called red efts, walk around on land in damp forests. The adults carry a strong poison in their skin, so they are best left alone.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Larvae are brown-green and have gills, and they live only in the pond where they hatched.1
- Red efts, the land-dwelling juveniles, are bright orangish-red with darker red spots outlined in black. One newt can have as many as 21 spots.1
- Adults are dull olive green on the back with a dull yellow belly, and they keep the black-rimmed red spots.1
- Adults develop a larger, blade-like tail and slimy skin.1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: Central newts, a subspecies, are brown or green with fine black dots all over the body and may have a row of red spots on each side. Their belly is yellow or orange and noticeably lighter than the rest of the body.1
Amaanyi g'obutwa
Olususu lwakyo lwa butwa. Kya kabi okukwatako, okukomba oba okulya.
Obutwa bwakyo bukola ki?
The eastern newt is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting to deliver its toxin. Its skin contains tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, meaning it attacks the nerves. In predators it can cause muscle paralysis, skin irritation and even death, and it is also the strongest known emetic, meaning it causes vomiting.1
Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?
Akabi eri abantu: Kya bulumiKisobola okuluma ddala, naye kumpi tekiba kya kabi kinene.Its skin toxin is harmful to predators, and the newt should not be handled with bare hands.1
Kikola ki nga kitidde?
Its bright red colouring warns predators, and its skin releases toxins. Its ventral surface has poison glands, and it can swim quickly away from aquatic predators.1
Omuntu bw'aba nga akikutteko oba akiridde
- Omuntu bw'aba nga akutteko emu: naaza bulungi engalo era tokwata ku maaso wadde akamwa. Omwana oba ensolo y'awaka bw'aba ng'agikombye oba agiridde: kuba ekifo ekikola ku butwa (poison centre) oba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'oba okikutteko oba okiridde: tokolokota maaso go wadde akamwa, naaza engalo zo era funa obuyambi bw'abasawo.

Ebituufu
Newt larvae increase their toxin production when predators, such as dragonflies, are nearby.1
Eastern newts can regenerate lost limbs.1
A Belted Kingfisher was observed beating an eastern newt on a nest box 15 times before eating it.1
The eastern newt's bright red juvenile stage is called a red eft, and it may travel far from its pond.1
Only about 2% of larvae survive to reach the red eft stage.1
Some larvae have been found in the pitchers of the carnivorous plant Sarracenia purpurea.1
