The 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

Awaka
Eastern newts live in both coniferous and deciduous forests, and they need a moist environment with a temporary or permanent body of water. Adults stay in muddy ponds, lakes, swamps, ditches and quiet streams, while red efts may be seen in a forest after a rainstorm. They are also common aquarium pets, either collected from the wild or sold commercially.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

Obutwa mu lususu lwakyo

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

  • 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.
