Emperor newt
The emperor newt is a small, highly poisonous newt with bright orange bumps along its sides. It lives in pools and slow streams in forests in Yunnan and parts of South China. Its bright colours warn animals that it is toxic.1

怎样认出它
- Ridged orange head with a darker, almost black body1
- A single orange ridge runs down the back to the tail-tip1
- A row of round, orange bumps runs along both sides of the body1
- Tail and legs are orange, though the shade can vary by population, diet and location1
- Moves slowly and is generally nocturnal, so it is hard to find1
毒力
它的皮肤有毒。摸、舔或吃都很危险。
它的毒会造成什么?
It has no venom. Its poison is held in glands along its back and sides, and when it is grabbed, the tips of its ribs squeeze the poison out. The poison is harmful if eaten, or if the toxin is taken into the body.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。It is poisonous if eaten, but it is generally safe for people to handle when held carefully and gently, and only as often as is absolutely necessary.1
它害怕时会做什么?
Its bright orange colour is a warning, and when grabbed it squeezes poison from the glands along its back.1
