***A newt has dark gray green skin with darker spots and a yellow belly. Newts also have a long flat tail. A newt can grow to be 3-4 inches long. Something interesting is that a newt has 4 fingers on each hand and 5 toes on each foot.

***A newt eats insects, worms, snails, and small fish.The newt's life cycle is very similar to a frog's. Some newts stay in the water, others live half their life on land and the other half in water.
