怎样认出它

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

常被误认为： 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

毒力

皮肤里有毒

它的皮肤有毒。摸、舔或吃都很危险。

它的毒会造成什么？

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

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重如果有人碰了或吃了它，要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

The newt's skin is poisonous to touch and to eat. Its toxin is strong enough to potentially kill an adult human. It is also nearly inedible, and few animals eat it.1

它害怕时会做什么？

When disturbed, it pulls its head and tail back to show its bright-red underside, which warns predators that it is poisonous.1

如果有人碰了或吃了它

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。
如果你碰了或吃了它：不要揉眼睛或嘴巴，洗手并就医。

它不是冲着你来的。它的毒只是为了不被吃掉。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

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
