Crested Newt Beside a Leaf
This illustration features a crested newt, an aquatic and terrestrial amphibian recognized by its distinctive wavy dorsal crest running along its back and its slender, long tail. Beside the newt sits a broad plant leaf, representing the damp vegetation where these small creatures search for shelter in their natural habitat.
Interesting Facts About Crested Newts
Crested newts spend part of the year in aquatic environments to breed before moving onto damp land covered with fallen leaves and lush vegetation. Their wavy crest grows prominent during the spring breeding season, helping males attract mates. During dryer periods, they seek shade under broad plant leaves to keep their skin moist.
