Toxic Newt!

In this segment of On Location, Coyote and the Brave Wilderness crew explore the mountain lakes off the coast of Washington for Rough Skinned Newts! Similar to the California Newts found in previous episodes these adorable little amphibians also happen to be EXTREMELY toxic. That’s right, the poison in the skin of the “Rough Skinned” Newt is potent enough to be fatal to humans. However no need to worry, the toxins must be ingested to take full effect, so as long as you’re not planning on eating one of these toxic creatures you’ll be just fine.
