The Edough ribbed newt is an amphibian from the salamander family. This animal lives only in the mountains of Algeria and uses sharp ribs for protection against enemies.
The Edough ribbed newt differs from other newts by sharp ribs that protrude through the skin in danger. It is important for nature as a predator eating invertebrates and as part of local aquatic ecosystems.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
