- Males have flatter, wider tails and more red on the belly than females.1
- Adults are 8 to 15 cm long.1

Uburozi bwayo bukora iki?
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

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
Niba hari uwayikozeho cyangwa uwayiriye
- Niba hari uwakoze ku yindi: karaba intoki neza kandi ntukore ku maso cyangwa ku munwa. Niba umwana cyangwa itungo ryayirigase cyangwa ryayiriye: hamagara ikigo gishinzwe uburozi cyangwa nimero y'ubutabazi.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba wayikozeho cyangwa wayiriye: ntukube amaso cyangwa umunwa, karaba intoki kandi ushake ubufasha bwa muganga.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Uburozi bwayo buriho gusa kugira ngo hatagira ikiyirya. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
The newt's body contains tetrodotoxin, a poison that it mostly takes in from the food it eats.1
Newts can regrow missing body parts, and this ability has been studied by scientists.1
Wild individuals as old as 23 years have been found.1
Males and females both produce peptide pheromones, chemical signals that attract the opposite sex when they are ready to mate.1
The larvae hatch as swimming, gilled young and lose their gills and fins at five to six months, when they become juveniles that live on land.1
