The eastern newt or 'red eft' (Notophthalmus viridescens) can live up to 15 years in the wild! It is common in eastern North America inhabiting small lakes, ponds, streams and nearby wet forests.

While hiking during a visit to West Virginia we came upon this cute red eft, which is a juvenile stage of the red-spotted newt (a type of Eastern newt). These little newts are quite remarkable. They have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years in the wild, give off a toxin that makes them unappealing to predators and go through three totally different life stages: They're born in and live for several months in the water during their larval stage, when they're olive or yellow-brown and have gills and a flat

💦🦎Although eastern newts are aquatic as larvae and adults, juveniles (called red efts) live on land! Around 2 to 5 months of age, their lungs, legs and eyelids make them more suited to life on land. As they search for water, they make their homes in leaf litter along the way. 🍂 . . . #NatZooZen #BringTheZooToYou #ClosedButStillCaring | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

Our eastern newt friend, making its rounds to the surface for a quick gulp of air. Eastern newt are fascinating little creatures. As larvae they have feathery external gills and live entirely in water. Then as terrestrial juveniles, they develop lungs, lose their gills, and live on land for 2-3 years, using their lungs to breathe air. These are the red eft newt we come across while hiking. Finally, as aquatic adults, newt return to water to breed, retaining their lungs for air breathing but also

The eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a common newt of eastern North America. It frequents small lakes, ponds, and streams or nearby wet forests. The eastern newt produces tetrodotoxin, which makes the species unpalatable to predatory fish and crayfish. It has a lifespan of 12 to 15 years in the wild, and it may grow to 5 inches in length. #hikingadventures #outdooradventures #hiking #newt #wildlife

Huh... this is the first time we've ever observed two eastern newts in the inlet at one time! At first we thought we may be about to watch an uncomfortable mating ritual like we did in the vernal pool last winter. But, look closely at those feet. Male eastern newt have thick black pads on their feet, so these two are most likely in a quick scuffle over territory. And don't forget that little sunfish at the end with its super quick stops! #alleghenyislandswilderness #alleghenyriver #warrenpa #fin
