This here is a California
Newt. The California Newt is cold
blooded. They are orange and
black. It is located in California.
It lives under a rock. It is 2 to 6
inches
long. It
has a
slender
body,short
legs, and
a long
tail. They have poisonous skin. If
their legs or arms are cut off they
can regrow them. They can sur-
vive fires because their slimy skin
protects them They eat insects,
spiders, worms, and the eggs of
other amphibians.

The Japanese Fire-Bellied Newt
can be found in Japan. It lives in
clear, cool bodies of water, usually
ponds, ditches, pools, or lakes. The
tail of the newt is pointed. It is usu-
ally black to olive in color. Their diet
consist of earthworms, crickets, and
wingless fruit flies just to name a few.
Let not forget to mention their love
for German cockroaches. Something
that I found interesting was there
skin secretions is so toxic, a drop of
it can kill 2500 mice.
