Kleine Watersalamander / Smooth Newt - Lissotriton vulgaris I was visiting a friend&#039;s house and we were strolling in his garden when I told him that I have yet to see a Salamander and he replied that he sees them in his garden, which I thought he was joking with me. Then he started to look around his garden and within minutes, he was able to show me this one, small in size, body around 5-6 cm. It was hiding under a rock and he told me now that the weather is getting cooler, they are less active and also their colours are very dull. During springtime when they are getting ready to mate, they have more colours on them.<br /> <br /> Picture of the whole Salamander can be seen here :<br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/46110/kleine_watersalamander_smooth_newt_-_lissotriton_vulgaris.html" title="Kleine Watersalamander / Smooth Newt - Lissotriton vulgaris"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2994/46110_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=y0fDpjyUXmTZwwIexktVBPOfbfw%3D" width="200" height="150" alt="Kleine Watersalamander / Smooth Newt - Lissotriton vulgaris Close-up of this Salamander can be seen here :<br /> <br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/46109/kleine_watersalamander_smooth_newt_-_lissotriton_vulgaris.html<br /> Fall,Geotagged,Holland,Lissotriton vulgaris,Netherlands,Salamander,Smooth Newt" /></a></figure><br /> Fall,Geotagged,Holland,Lissotriton vulgaris,Netherlands,Newt,Salamander,Smooth Newt Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
