Hong Kong warty newt
The Hong Kong warty newt is a salamander with brown skin and orange spots on its belly. It lives in Hong Kong and in the coastal parts of Guangdong Province. It is the only newt living in Hong Kong, which makes it special there.1

怎麼認出牠
- Light to dark brown body with orange patches on the underside1
- The patches have a unique pattern on each individual, like a human fingerprint1
- Small granules across the skin, and a skin ridge running along the back from the neck through the front third of the tail1
- Thin, flattened tail with a thin red stripe along its underside1
- In the breeding season, the male's tail develops a white or bluish stripe that shows in dim light1
常被誤認為: Some naturalists consider it a subspecies of Paramesotriton chinensis. Others disagree, because the two have separate ranges and differ in appearance and habitat preference.1
毒素力量
牠的皮膚有毒。碰、舔或吃牠都很危險。
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。牠害怕時會做什麼?
When threatened, it releases a toxic secretion. It may also play dead by rolling onto its back to show its brightly coloured belly.1
如果有人碰了或吃了牠
- 如果有人碰了牠:把手徹底洗乾淨,不要碰眼睛或嘴巴。如果小孩或寵物舔了或吃了牠:打給毒物諮詢中心或打緊急電話。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果你碰了或吃了牠:不要揉眼睛或摸嘴巴,把手洗乾淨,並且就醫。
牠不是想來抓你。牠的毒只是為了不讓別的動物吃掉牠。 更多安全知識
