What is a newt?

A newt is a semi-aquatic amphibian which looks rather like a cross between a lizard and a frog, or perhaps a very wet dragon. They can be found around waterways in North America, Asia, and Europe. Depending on the species, newts may spend a great deal of time in the water, or they may live primarily on land, in which case they are known as efts. Efts tend to be more brightly colored than newts, and they may also have drier, more rough skin.

Some people confuse newts and salamanders. Newts are, in fact, salamanders since they are in the family Salamandridae, but not all salamanders are newts. A newt has a long, slender body with a broad tail, and most species have moist, smooth skin. Some species are decorated with crests and ornamental gills, such as the European crested newts. Care should be taken when handling a newt, as most emit a mild toxin which can irritate mucus membranes. They may also carry bacteria found in their watery homes, much like other amphibians.
