Neotenic Alpine Newt Messotriton alpestris

A life long favourite, though not in this odd and rare form, is the Alpine Newt.

This one, like the Axolotl, stays in larval form and keeps the gills and this particular indivudual escaped and gre to adulthood in my pond many years ago, though technically it was my grandmothers pond, despite the fact I built it?!

LMAO!
