Have you posted anything about Japanese fire-bellied newts? I just saw your name and got distracted by birds. Japanese fire bellied newts are my favorite animals of all time!

Toxic - tetrodotoxins, mildly to strongly toxic to humans, depending on the species.
Named for the bright yellow, orange, or red aposematic coloration on the underside of the body.
Mainly aquatic, found in ponds, lakes, and streams.
