*****
A sour snack: At only six in-
ches long, a newt would seem
like easy prey for a hungry
predator. But few animals pur-
sue the small bite-size amphi-
bians. National Wildlife
magazine reports that when
threatened, newts arch their
bodies into a warning position
with the tips of their noses
touching their tails. This
unusual warning reminds
predators that the newt’s blood
and tissue contain a poison
more deadly than strychnine.
