Field Notes

Description:

Shown are two adult Eastern Newts mating under water where the female will eggs its eggs. Adults never go back to land, but the babies will lose their gills and transform into red land-dwelling creatures known as (red) efts.

Notes:

Difficult getting pictures because of being under water, I had to take many just to get a few images.
