QUICK READ ABOUT Marbled Newt

The marbled newt is typically found in habitats characterized by hilly and forestry terrain, away from open and exposed areas.^[2] Marbled newts live in temporary habitats, such as ponds, that are subject to change depending on the climate conditions of the region. When rainfall is high and the temperature is lower, typically in the fall and winter months, adult marbled newts stay in the ponds. However, these shallow ponds are subject to drought in warmer spring and summer months, which forces the marbled newts to remain on land. Due to this constant change in the habitat conditions, marbled newts have the ability to adapt to different climatic conditions and habitat changes.^[3]

The characteristics of the marbled newt’s habitat have also been found to affect the maturity of both males and females. Newts found in Mediterranean regions have been found to mature earlier than those in regions of France and Portugal. Due to the harsher conditions associated with the climate in Mediterranean regions, marbled newts experience a higher rate of adult mortality; therefore, maturing earlier is advantageous. Marbled newts have dark brown or black bodies with irregular patterns of green. They have black bellies with off-white specks. Adult females have an orange stripe running down the back from the head to the tip of the tail. Juveniles also have this stripe, but the stripe fades on males at about 9 months.^[4] Breeding males have a large wavy crest that runs from its neck down to the tip of its tail, but is a little bit shorter where the tail meets the body. The crest is striped yellowish-white with black. Adult marbled newts range from 5 inches (13 cm) to 6.5 inches (17 cm) long
