California Newt (Taricha torosa)Observer
mironeDescription
There were many newt eggs found in the vicinity of this California Newt. I believe this is a California Newt because the line between the orange and dark brown side of the newt goes right through the newt's eyes. The newt was 10 centimeters in length from the top of it's head to the tip of it's tail.
