Eastern newt
Chepfu muganda rayoInodya: NyamaIne chepfu, haina uturu hwekuruma kana kubayaThe 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

Maziviro ayo
- 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
Inowanzovhiringidzwa ne: 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

Chepfu yayo inoitei?
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

Ngozi kuvanhu: InorwadzaInogona kurwadza chaizvo, asi kazhinji haisi njodzi huru.Its skin toxin is harmful to predators, and the newt should not be handled with bare hands.1
Inoitei kana yatya?
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

Chokwadi
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
