What are red - spotted newts predators?

Answer 1

Yes, the Eastern Red-Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens) secretes a poison from its skin similar to the tetrodotoxin found in pufferfish (the Japanese delicacy "fugu"). But is it primarily poisonous to other animals that might try to eat it. From most reports, it is not poisonous enough to hurt humans (unless of course, you eat a plate full of them).

Answer 2

The main predator of the Eastern Newt (Red Spotted Newt) is leeches, which attach themselves to the tadpoles and adults. The efts are generally not attacked by leeches, because this is the terrestrial stage of the newt. Other occasional predators of this species are birds, mammals, fish, and other amphibians, but most are wary because of the bright spots that warn of the toxins contained in the newt's skin.
