Fire Belly Newt
The fire belly newt or fire newt is a genus (''Cynops'') of newts native to Japan and China. All of the species show bright yellow or red bellies, but this feature is not unique to this genus. Their skin contains a toxin that can be harmful if ingested. Species Species recognized as of October 2019: (A * means that the newt has been moved into the genus ''Hypselotriton'' in some classifications ) Taxonomic controversy The genus ''Cynops'' has been suggested to be due for a split, with the Chinese species being placed in a separate genus from the Japanese ones. The species ''Cynops cyanurus'' is at the centre of all this. There is much debate about the validity of ''C. cyanurus'' and '' C. chenggongensis''. All the known captive animals could be something different from ''C. cyanurus'', as they do not entirely match the original description of the species. The only known animals that match that are animals originating from Chemnitz Chemnitz (; from 1953 to 1990: Karl-Marx- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chemnitz
Chemnitz (; from 1953 to 1990: Karl-Marx-Stadt , ) is the third-largest city in the German state of Saxony after Leipzig and Dresden. It is the 28th largest city of Germany as well as the fourth largest city in the area of former East Germany after (East) Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. The city is part of the Central German Metropolitan Region, and lies in the middle of a string of cities sitting in the densely populated northern foreland of the Elster and Ore Mountains, stretching from Plauen in the southwest via Zwickau, Chemnitz and Freiberg to Dresden in the northeast. Located in the Ore Mountain Basin, the city is surrounded by the Ore Mountains to the south and the Central Saxon Hill Country to the north. The city stands on the Chemnitz River (progression: ), which is formed through the confluence of the rivers Zwönitz and Würschnitz in the borough of Altchemnitz. The name of the city as well as the names of the rivers are of Slavic origin. Chemnitz is the third larg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cynops Wolterstorffi
The Yunnan lake newt (''Cynops wolterstorffi'') is an extinct species of newt in the family Salamandridae, and was also known as Wolterstorff's newt. It was only found near the Kunming Lake in Yunnan, China. It was found in shallow lake waters and adjacent freshwater habitats. Despite extensive surveys, it has not been seen since 1979, and is therefore considered extinct. The reasons for its extinction are believed to be habitat loss, pollution, and introduced species. Etymology The specific name ''wolterstorffi'' honours Willy Wolterstorff, German geologist and herpetologist Herpetology (from Greek ἑρπετόν ''herpetón'', meaning "reptile" or "creeping animal") is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians ( gymnophiona)) and rep ....

Cynops Pyrrhogaster
The Japanese fire-bellied newt or Japanese fire-bellied salamander (''Cynops pyrrhogaster'') is a species of newt endemic to Japan. The skin on its upper body is dark, while its lower regions are bright red, although coloration varies with age, genetics, and region. Adults are long. To deter predators, Japanese fire-bellied newts contain high levels of tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin which is accumulated mainly from their diet. They are found on many Japanese islands, including Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Their habitats include both natural and artificial bodies of water, as well as forests and grasslands. They breed from spring to the beginning of summer, both sexes producing pheromones when ready to mate. Eggs are laid separately, hatching after about three weeks. They grow from larval to juvenile form in between five and six months. Juveniles eat soil-dwelling prey, while adults eat a wide variety of insects, tadpoles, and the eggs of their own species. They have multiple a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cynops Orphicus
The Dayang newt (''Cynops orphicus'') is a rare species of salamander in the family Salamandridae, endemic to China. It is known from Jiexi County in eastern Guangdong from where it was collected in 1936 (more specifically, from Dayang, which gave it the common name) and described as a new species in 1983. More recently, it has also been found from Dehua County in central Fujian. Its natural habitat In ecology, the term habitat summarises the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species. A species habitat can be seen as the physical ...s are pools and small lakes, and during hibernation, terrestrial habitats, including forest and lightly degraded areas. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation.

Cynops Orientalis
The Chinese fire belly newt (''Cynops orientalis'') is a small () black newt, with bright-orange aposematic coloration on their ventral sides. ''C. orientalis'' is commonly seen in pet stores, where it is frequently confused with the Japanese fire belly newt (''C. pyrrhogaster'') due to similarities in size and coloration. ''C. orientalis'' typically exhibits smoother skin and a rounder tail than ''C. pyrrhogaster'', and has less obvious parotoid glands. Toxicology Chinese fire belly newts are mildly poisonous and excrete toxins through their skin. Consisting primarily of tetrodotoxins, newts of the genus ''Cynops'' pose a medically significant threat if enough toxins are consumed, and toxins may cause numbness or irritation on skin contact.

Newt
A newt is a salamander in the subfamily Pleurodelinae. The terrestrial juvenile phase is called an eft. Unlike other members of the family Salamandridae, newts are semiaquatic, alternating between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Not all aquatic salamanders are considered newts, however. More than 100 known species of newts are found in North America, Europe, North Africa and Asia. Newts metamorphose through three distinct developmental life stages: aquatic larva, terrestrial juvenile (eft), and adult. Adult newts have lizard-like bodies and return to the water every year to breed, otherwise living in humid, cover-rich land habitats. Newts are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation and pollution. Several species are endangered, and at least one species, the Yunnan lake newt, has become extinct recently. Etymology The Old English name of the animal was , (of unknown origin), resulting in Middle English ; this word was transformed irregularly into , , or . The initial "n ...

Cynops Fudingensis
The Fuding fire belly newt (''Cynops fudingensis'') is a rare species of newt in the family Salamandridae, endemic to China. It is only known from Fuding in northeastern Fujian, from the locality where it was described as a new species in 2010. Although it is genetically similar to the Chinese fire belly newt (''C. orientalis''), it is morphologically more similar to the Dayang fire belly newt (''C. orphicus''). The range of ''C. fudingensis'' is separate from both other species. A revised taxonomy of Salamandridae places this species (together with all other Chinese species of ''Cynops'') in genus ''Hypselotriton''. ''Cynops fudingensis'' is a small newt, usually less than in total length. The population from which the species was described lives in small, still-water puddles and ditches of a deserted agricultural field on a hillside near Taimushan (Mt. Taimu), west of Fuding City. Another nearby population may already be extinct. The species is not known from elsewhere, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
