Japanese fire-bellied newt
The 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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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
Lakas ng lason
Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.
Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?
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

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
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
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
