Rough-Skinned Newt

[imperialbirders]

Hi
Walking my neighbour’s dog yesterday and saw this Rough-Skinned Newt on the sidewalk. Luckily the dog was on her leash and I kept her from sniffing or licking the Newt as they are the most poisonous amphibian in B.C. I did move it off the sidewalk to a garden bed for its safety and the safety of pets.

It's been years since I have seen a Rough-skinned Newt.

Thanks for sharing Mike.

I've only ever seen one and it was in the mouth of a hooded merganser!! Oops!
