Alpine Newts
These newts are found at relatively high altitudes and are remarkably hardy and aquatic by nature. The males are particularly attractive when in breeding condition. They have a dark blue back with lighter white markings and orange under parts. Females are much duller, being predominantly brownish. They lay between 300-400 eggs which can take up to a month to hatch and metamorphosis is complete within 3 months by which time the young newts will be over 2.5 cm long! |
