What is a Newt?
A newt is a type of amphibian closely related to salamanders. It has a long, slender body, smooth skin, and a tail that stays with it for life. Newts usually live in damp forests or near freshwater ponds and streams. They start their lives in water and later move onto land, though many return to the water to breed. Depending on the species, newts can live for about 6 to 15 years. Most are quite small, often around 10 to 15 centimeters long, and they use their legs and tail to swim gracefully. Their diet includes tiny insects, worms, and other small water creatures. Newts make soft chirping or squeaking sounds, and their moist, smooth skin is a big part of what makes them special among amphibians.
