Description
Native to the California coast, the venomous red-bellied newt can be found in moist woodland areas and redwood forests. Its dark upper body matches the surrounding environment and camouflages the red-bellied newt from predators. When trouble persists, it flips over on its back to reveal its bright red belly. This visual warning is usually enough to dissuade a predator but if not, the skin of this newt contains enough venom to kill an adult person.
