Fire salamander
May lason sa balat nitoKinakain: Mga insektoNakalalason, hindi makamandagThe fire salamander is a black amphibian with bright yellow, and sometimes red or orange, markings. It lives in forests across most of southern and central Europe. Its bright colours warn predators that its skin is poisonous.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Black with yellow spots or stripes; the amount of yellow varies, and some are almost completely black1
- Shades of red or orange may appear, replacing or mixing with the yellow, depending on the subspecies1
- Grows to 15 to 25 cm long, making it one of Europe's largest salamanders1
- Males and females look very similar, except in the breeding season, when the male has a swollen gland near his vent1
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
The fire salamander is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not inject venom with a bite. Its skin secretions contain alkaloid toxins, mainly samandarin, which cause strong muscle convulsions and high blood pressure, combined with fast breathing, in all vertebrates. Another alkaloid, samandarone, has also been found in its skin secretions. The poison comes from glands concentrated around the head and along the back.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.Some compounds in its skin secretions are potentially dangerous to human life. Touching the animal or handling its skin can expose people to the poison.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
Its bright yellow, red or orange colours warn predators that it is poisonous, and it releases toxins from its skin glands.1
Kung may humawak o kumain nito
- Kung may humawak sa isa: hugasang mabuti ang mga kamay at huwag hawakan ang mata o bibig. Kung may batang o alagang hayop na dumila o kumain ng isa: tawagan ang poison control center o ang numero pang-emergency.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung nahawakan o nakain mo ito: huwag kuskusin ang mata o bibig mo, hugasan ang mga kamay mo at kumuha ng tulong medikal.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ang lason nito ay para lang walang kumain dito. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
One fire salamander lived for more than 50 years in Museum Koenig, a natural history museum in Germany.1
Larvae do not make the poison. It develops as the salamander matures, in the ovaries, liver and testes.1
Its skin poison may also help protect it against bacterial and fungal infections of the skin.1
Its bright colours are a warning signal. Scientists call this aposematism, meaning the animal advertises that it is poisonous.1
Some subspecies give birth to live young, while others release larvae into water. Only two subspecies, fastuosa and bernadezi, give birth to fully formed young.1
In captivity, females can store sperm for a long time and use it to produce another clutch of eggs. This has not been seen in the wild.1

- Eggs develop inside the female, and she puts the larvae into water as they hatch. In some subspecies, the young develop inside the female until she gives birth to fully formed young.1
