Several species are endangered, and at least one species, the Yunnan lake newt, has gone extinct recently. The Old English name of the animal was ""efte, efeta"" (of unknown origin), resulting in Middle English ""eft""; this word was transformed irregularly into ""euft"", ""evete"", or ""ewt(e)"".

The red eft, the brightly colored terrestrial juvenile form of the eastern newt (""Notophthalmus viridescens""), is highly poisonous. It is avoided by birds and snakes, and can survive for up to 30 minutes after being swallowed (later being regurgitated).
