Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • The skin on its upper body is dark brown, approaching black, and covered in wartlike bumps.1
  • The underbelly and underside of the tail are bright red with black spots.1
  • Young juveniles have creamy coloured bellies instead of red, though most larger juveniles show some red.1
  • Males have flatter, wider tails and more red on the belly than females.1
  • Adults are 8 to 15 cm long.1

Kitera okutabulwa ne: The German zoologist Heinrich Boie, who first described it in 1826, said he would have mistaken it for the smooth newt if he had not known it came from Japan.1

Obutwa mu lususu lwakyo

Olususu lwakyo lwa butwa. Kya kabi okukwatako, okukomba oba okulya.

Obutwa bwakyo bukola ki?

The newt is not venomous: it does not bite or sting with venom. Its body contains high levels of tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. The newt gets most of this poison from its diet.1

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

Newts on smaller islands use the unken reflex, where they expose their bright red belly to startle or deter a predator. Newts on the mainland use different antipredator behaviour.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.
