California newt

Taricha torosa

Malunga negama: It is also called the orange-bellied newt, after its bright underside.1

The California newt is a small amphibian with a warty grey back and a bright orange-yellow belly. It lives only in California, in the western United States. Its skin contains a powerful poison, so it is a good example of an animal you should look at but never handle.1

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Sihlala

Endemic to California, in the Western United States: the coastal counties and the southern and central Sierra Nevada1

uMntla Melika

Ekhaya

California newts live in woodlands and chaparral near the small ponds and creeks where they breed. During the day they hide under rocks, logs or leaf litter. They travel to ponds, streams and slow-moving water to breed, especially during the wet season.1

Ubude

13 cm ukuya ku-20 cm (5,1 in ukuya ku-7,9 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,5 km/h (0,31 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

Its prey includes earthworms, snails, slugs, woodlice, bloodworms, mosquito larvae and crickets. Adults will also eat their own eggs and larvae, and in the Sierra Nevada they eat trout eggs.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Warty, slate-grey skin on the back1
Bright orange-yellow skin on the underside1
Orange skin around the bottom of the eye (the rough-skinned newt has grey there)1
Eyes that stick out beyond the edge of the jaw when seen from above, giving the head a bullet-like shape1
Adults are about 13 to 20 cm long1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The rough-skinned newt looks very similar and is often hard to tell apart in the field. The California newt has orange skin around the bottom of the eye and eyes that stick out past the jaw, while the rough-skinned newt has grey skin there and eyes that do not stick out. The red-bellied newt has dark irises instead of yellow, more red underneath, and a dark band across the vent.1

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

This animal is poisonous, not venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin glands release tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves). It is hundreds of times more toxic than cyanide and is the same toxin found in pufferfish and harlequin frogs. It is strong enough to kill most vertebrates, including humans.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Siyingozi kakhuluSinokubulala umntu ongafumani nyango.

The toxin is strong enough to kill people. Because of their toxin, California newts have very few natural predators.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened, it performs the unken reflex: it stretches out, arches its body, and lifts its head and tail into the air to show its bright belly. It can also produce a foamy substance when exposed to high temperatures.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile: hlamba izandla kakuhle kwaye ungachukumisi amehlo okanye umlomo. Ukuba umntwana okanye isilwanyana sasekhaya sisikhothile okanye sisityile: tsalela iziko lezityhefu okanye inombolo kaxakeka.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

Because snakes evolved resistance, newts have evolved to make far more toxin than any other predator could need, an evolutionary arms race.1

The foam the newt produces forms a protective layer that helps it keep moisture and shields it from burns during wildfires.1

Researchers believe bacteria make the tetrodotoxin, and the newts acquire it by eating those bacteria.1

Garter snakes are the most common predator, and some have developed resistance to the newt's toxin.1

Adults usually return to the same pool where they hatched to breed.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Newts do not make any sounds.

Inyaniso: California newts make clicks, squeaks and whistles. Clicks are the most common, squeaks are used in defence, and whistles seem to be linked to recognising sex and to social rank.1
