The Iberian ribbed newt is a salamander that lives in ponds and wells in Spain, Portugal and northern Morocco. It is the largest European newt species. When threatened, it can push its sharp ribs out through its skin, which gives it a way to defend itself against predators.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • Dark grey on its back and lighter grey on its belly, with small rust-coloured spots1
  • Usually 8 to 10 orange, wart-like bumps (tubercles) running down each side of the body1
  • Flat, spade-shaped head and a long tail, about half of its body length1
  • Males are more slender and usually smaller than females1
  • Larvae have bushy external gills and paler colours than adults1

Kitera okutabulwa ne: It is sometimes confused with the Iberian newt (Lissotriton boscai), a different species with a similar common name.1

Amaanyi g'obusagwa

Amaggwa ag'obusagwa

Amaggwa amasongovu ge galimu obusagwa. Okukirinnyako oba okukikwata kiruma.

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

When threatened, the newt releases a milky, thick poison from glands on its neck, back, sides and tail as its ribs push out. The poison coats the ribs, which can pierce the skin of a predator's mouth and inject toxins.1

The rib defence is completely harmless to humans. The ribs cause only little harm to the newt itself, and its skin quickly heals without infection.1

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

It tries to run away from predators first. If it cannot escape, it pushes its sharp ribs through its sides and releases poison.1

Amaggwa gaakyo bwe gakufumita

  • 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.
  • Amaggwa gaayo bwe gakufumita: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.

Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu

1

Its ribs can push through its skin to act as a defence, a primitive and rudimentary form of envenomation.1

2

It is a model animal for regeneration research. It can regrow lost limbs, injured heart tissue, brain cells, eye lenses and parts of its spinal cord.1

3

This newt has been sent into space on at least six missions, starting in 1985.1

4

In genetic males and females, temperature can override sex chromosomes. Some ZW larvae reared at 32 °C (90 °F) become functional males.1

5

Its immune system, rib-coated collagen and antimicrobial peptides let the pierced skin heal quickly without infection.1

6

Females can keep live sperm in their cloaca for up to five months.1

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: The newt's ribs and poison are dangerous to people.

Amazima: The ribs and poison are a defence against predators. The rib defence is completely harmless to humans.1
