Japanese fire-bellied newt
Sumu ndani ya ngoziHula: NyamaSumu ya kugusa au kula, hadungi sumuThe Japanese fire-bellied newt is a small amphibian with a dark back and a bright red belly. It lives only in Japan, in ponds, streams, forests and grasslands. Its body contains a strong poison that helps protect it from predators.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- The skin on its upper body is dark brown, approaching black, and covered in wartlike bumps.1
- The underbelly and underside of the tail are bright red with black spots.1
- Young juveniles have creamy coloured bellies instead of red, though most larger juveniles show some red.1
- Males have flatter, wider tails and more red on the belly than females.1
- Adults are 8 to 15 cm long.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: The German zoologist Heinrich Boie, who first described it in 1826, said he would have mistaken it for the smooth newt if he had not known it came from Japan.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
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
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaMtu akimgusa au kumla, aende kwa daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.Hufanya nini akiogopa?
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
Mtu akimgusa au kumla
- Mtu akimgusa: nawa mikono vizuri na usiguse macho wala mdomo. Mtoto au mnyama kipenzi akimramba au kumla: piga kituo cha taarifa za sumu au namba ya dharura.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Ukimgusa au kumla: usisugue macho wala mdomo, nawa mikono na utafute msaada wa kitabibu.
Hakuwindi wewe. Sumu yake ipo tu ili asiliwe na yeyote. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
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
