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

Laman utama

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

Cara mengenalinya

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

Sering dikelirukan dengan: 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

Kuasa racun

Racun di kulitnya

Kulitnya beracun. Ia berbahaya untuk disentuh, dijilat atau dimakan.

Apa kesan racunnya?

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

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: MenyakitkanIa boleh jadi sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.

Its skin toxin is harmful to predators, and the newt should not be handled with bare hands.1

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

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

Jika seseorang menyentuh atau memakannya

Jika seseorang menyentuhnya: basuh tangan dengan bersih dan jangan sentuh mata atau mulut. Jika kanak-kanak atau haiwan peliharaan menjilat atau memakannya: hubungi pusat racun atau nombor kecemasan.

Sentiasa hubungi nombor kecemasan dahulu (112, 000, 911). Ini panduan pertolongan cemas umum, bukan nasihat perubatan. Asas pertolongan cemas

Kekal selamat

Jangan sesekali sentuh, tangkap atau usik haiwan liar, walaupun yang kecil, dan walaupun ia nampak tidur atau mati.
Beri ia ruang. Jika kamu terjumpa, bertenang, undur perlahan-lahan dan biarkan ia pergi.
Jika kamu menyentuh atau memakannya: jangan gosok mata atau mulut, basuh tangan dan dapatkan bantuan perubatan.

Ia bukan mahu memburu kamu. Racunnya ada hanya supaya tiada apa yang memakannya. Lagi tentang keselamatan
