The great crested newt, also known as the warty newt (Triturus cristatus), looks like a tiny aquatic dinosaur due to the crest on its back that males develop during the breeding season. This species lives mostly on land, but spends between three and five months of the year in lakes, ponds, and ditches. They are widespread throughout Europe, but in a number of places their habitats have been drained, leading to a decline in numbers.
