The bright orange color of California Newts (Taricha torosa) is a warning sign. These newts contain a neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin that helps protect them against predators like garter snakes. It's the same toxin that is found in pufferfish.

Each year beginning in December, California Newts (Taricha torosa) leave their land dwellings and make a slow migration to ponds for mating season. If you see them on the trails, make sure to give them plenty of space.
