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

Strupena ob ugrizu ali ob dotiku? Nekatere živali strup vbrizgajo z ugrizom ali pikom: te so strupene ob ugrizu ali piku. Druge so škodljive, če se jih dotakneš ali jih poješ: te so strupene za dotik ali zaužitje. Ta žival je strupena za dotik ali zaužitje.

Domov

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

Kaj je?

As larvae they feed on small aquatic invertebrates. As adults and efts they eat insects, springtails, soil mites, snails, worms, small crustaceans, young amphibians and frog eggs, typically every two to three days.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

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

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: 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

Moč strupa

Strup v koži

Njena koža je strupena. Nevarno se je je dotakniti, jo polizati ali pojesti.

Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?

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

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

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

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

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

Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel

Če se je je kdo dotaknil: dobro umij roke in se ne dotikaj oči ali ust. Če jo je otrok ali hišni ljubljenček polizal ali pojedel: pokliči center za zastrupitve ali številko za klic v sili.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.

Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

Newt larvae increase their toxin production when predators, such as dragonflies, are nearby.1

Eastern newts can regenerate lost limbs.1

A Belted Kingfisher was observed beating an eastern newt on a nest box 15 times before eating it.1

The eastern newt's bright red juvenile stage is called a red eft, and it may travel far from its pond.1

Only about 2% of larvae survive to reach the red eft stage.1

Some larvae have been found in the pitchers of the carnivorous plant Sarracenia purpurea.1
