Why is this California newt (Taricha torosa) so chill, so cool? Might have something to do with the fact that it’s so poisonous it pretty much only has one natural predator: the common garter snake, armed with some impressive evolutionary resistance to the newt’s powerful toxin. | California Academy of Sciences
