Red-bellied newt
Botlhole mo letlalong la yoneE botlhole go e ama kgotsa go e ja, ga e tsenye botlholeThe red-bellied newt is a small amphibian with a brownish-black back and a bright red belly. It lives in coastal woodlands in northern California, mostly on land. Its skin is poisonous, so it is important to leave it alone.1

Tsela ya go e lemoga
- Brownish-black upper body with grainy skin1
- Tomato-red underbelly1
- Length of about 7 to 9 cm from nose to vent, and 14 to 19 cm including the tail1
- Males often have a dark, broad patch across the vent; females do not1
- Breeding males have smooth skin and a flattened tail1
Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: Other coastal newts are similar in shape. The red-bellied newt can be told apart by its red belly and by the lack of yellow in its eyes.1

Botlhole jwa yone (jwa go e ama kgotsa go e ja) bo dira eng?
The red-bellied newt is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin, eggs and embryos contain tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. There is enough of it to potentially kill an adult human.1

E dira eng fa e tshogile?
When disturbed, it pulls its head and tail back to show its bright-red underside, which warns predators that it is poisonous.1

Dintlha
Like other newts, they can regrow several body parts, including their limbs, eyes, hearts, intestines, jaws and damaged spinal cords.1
They can find their way back to the same spot in a stream over several miles of rugged terrain, probably by using their sense of smell.1
Red-bellied newts can live for 20 to 30 years.1
Adults leave the water and live underground until they are ready to breed, which usually happens after four to six years.1
Females do not breed every year, unlike the males.1
