The Ussuri clawed newt is an amphibian with a very long tail and sharp claws on its paws. It lives in cold mountain streams of the Far Eastern forests.
The Ussuri clawed newt differs from other newts with a very long tail and claws on its paws. It is important for nature as a predator of small animals in mountain streams and as an indicator of water cleanliness.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
