In this post of the Amazing facts about animals we'll be discussing the Warty Newt.
Warty Newts
live in Europe. These creatures are an amphibious carnivore. Warty
Newts can live up to 25 years in the wild. This amphibian can grow up to 7 inches long. To
put it in perspective, Warty Newts are the size of a cup. This blue or orange
amphibian has a big crest on its back. Females are larger than the males. Warty Newts are
nocturnal and are voracious eaters. Their diet consists of slugs,
worms, insects, tadpoles and mollusks. To survive, their bodies must
have water on their skin at all times. Warty Newts spend a lot of
time in hibernation. Females can lay 200-300 eggs in a
batch. Like other newts, it can re-grow body parts if necessary.
Fun fact: in Europe you have to have a newt license to own one. If you decide you want one of these, my suggestion is you shouldn't get a male and a female or... well, you'll have your whole house filled with Warty Newts.
