Description
A native of Europe, the alpine newt has a colorful body and a shortened tail with a pointed tip. They live partially on land, moving into the water when it is time to spawn. A carnivore, the alpine newt feeds on mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic insects. While it can live in captivity, it requires both land and water within its habitat to survive.
