Newts on the Loose!


The newt population in this area has skyrocketed in recent years.

They lay their eggs in clusters attached to underwater stems.

    I've never seen one before! He's kind of cute.

    I wonder if this is related in some way to the climate?

    What beautiful pictures--that last one is just amazing.

    I think he's cute, but Newts can be really bad for the forest and streams, at least that's what I've heard.
