The rough-skinned newt is a small, stocky amphibian from the Pacific Northwest of North America. Its skin gives off one of the strongest toxins of any newt, so it is a creature to admire from a distance and never handle. Its toxin is also linked to a famous fight between newts and garter snakes.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.

Kako jo prepoznaš

Stocky body with a rounded snout.1
Top ranges from light brown to olive or brownish-black.1
Underside, including the head, legs and tail, is orange to yellow.1
Skin is granular, but males are smooth-skinned during the breeding season.1
Adults are 11 to 18 cm long overall, including the tail.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: The California newt (Taricha torosa) looks similar. The rough-skinned newt has smaller eyes, yellow irises, V-shaped tooth patterns and uniformly dark eyelids. During breeding season, males have large swollen vent lobes and cornified toe pads, which separate them from females.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?

This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin produces tetrodotoxin (TTX), a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. It blocks the sodium channels that nerves need to send signals. This can cause paralysis and death by asphyxiation, which means the person cannot breathe.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: Zelo nevarnaČloveka, ki ne dobi zdravljenja, lahko ubije.

The toxin is mainly dangerous if the newt is eaten. Some people have had skin irritation after handling the newt, especially if they touch their eyes without washing their hands first. In 1979, a 29-year-old man from Oregon died after eating one. Some newts make enough toxin to kill several adult humans.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

It gives off an acrid smell that warns animals to stay away.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

Some common garter snakes can eat rough-skinned newts and survive. They are the only known animals today able to do this.1

A garter snake tests a newt's toxin level by partly swallowing it, then either swallows it fully or lets it go.1

Newts can detect the chemical signature of a snake that has digested one of their kind, and they move away from it.1

The toxin is made by the newt's skin microbiome, meaning the bacteria living on its skin.1

The newt and the garter snake are an example of an evolutionary arms race. Each change in one species drives change in the other.1

The toxin also appears in pufferfish and other marine animals, which share the same nerve-blocking effect.1
