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

it’s time for newt news! did you know california newts can produce tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin that can be deadly if eaten by the wrong predator? it’s the same toxin found in pufferfish. their main predators are garter snakes, and even they’ve learned the hard way. when threatened, newts flash their bright orange bellies as a warning that basically says “don’t try it, buddy!” and most predators take the hint and back off! #californianewt #newts #amphibians #natureeducation #wildlifefacts n

The process of Sierra newt procreation is fascinating: males latch onto females to engage in about an hour of head and chin rubbing, and maybe even a little tail fluttering, before the ma
