Anderson's crocodile newt

Echinotriton andersoni

无害对人无害。不用担心。

有毒的刺吃：肉碰了或吃了有毒，不注射毒液

Anderson's crocodile newt is a stout, dark salamander that lives in forests and wet places on the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. It is special because it can push its own ribs through its skin and glands to release a toxin at a threat.1

首页

It lives in broad-leaved evergreen forests, secondary forests, grasslands and swamps, and has also been found in and near sugar cane fields. It breeds in standing water such as ponds and temporary pools. Outside the breeding season, adults hide in leaf litter, rocky crevices, and under rocks and logs, so they are hard to see.1

毒液之力

有毒的刺

锋利的刺带着毒液。踩到或抓住它会很疼。

它的毒液会造成什么？

The newt's glands produce tetrodotoxin, a toxin that is released when the ribs puncture the skin and glands.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

它害怕时会做什么？

When threatened, it uses its ribs to puncture its skin and glands, releasing its toxin at the attacker.1

如果它的刺扎到你

如果有人碰了它：好好洗手，不要碰眼睛或嘴巴。如果孩子或宠物舔了或吃了它：打电话给中毒急救中心或急救电话。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果它的刺扎到你：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It is one of few animals that can use its ribs to pierce its own skin and glands to deliver a defensive toxin.1

Its ribs have an unusual structure, lacking muscle attachments at their ends.1

Some of its glands can look lighter in colour than the skin around them, which may mean a higher concentration of toxin there.1

Paved roads with roadside gutters are reportedly leading to many of these newts ending up as roadkill.1

It is threatened by habitat loss and by collection for the illegal pet trade.1

It breeds from February to July, with activity peaking from March to May.1
