Triturus cristatus

The crested newt is a large amphibian from the salamander family. During the breeding period, males develop a high jagged crest on their back and tail.
The crested newt differs from other newts in its larger body size and high crest in males during the breeding season. It is important for nature as a predator that controls the population of invertebrates and as an indicator of the purity of freshwater bodies.
Searching for prey using vision and smell with quick jaw capture.
