Newts metamorphose through three distinct developmental life stages: aquatic larva, terrestrial juvenile (eft), and adult. Adult newts have lizard-like bodies and return to the water every year to breed, otherwise living in humid, cover-rich land habitats. Newts are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation and pollution.
Eastern newts have a lifespan of about 8–10 years in the wild, but some individuals have been known to live up to 15 years. [8] Eastern newts have three stages of life: (1) the aquatic larva or tadpole, (2) the red eft or terrestrial juvenile stage, and (3) the aquatic adult.

Researchers describe the new species as having "large" eyes and "v"-shaped teeth, according to a new peer-reviewed study
Some newts secrete enough toxins to kill several adult humans. It appears that in some areas, the common garter snake has surpassed the newt in the evolutionary arms race by developing such a strong resistance to the toxin that the newt is unable to compete with its production of the toxin. [ 6 ]
Nevertheless, these actions create a destructive cycle identified in the study that explains how narcissism and ostracism fuel each other. Narcissists tend to view themselves as victims when they ...
