Alpine Newt / Bergmolch / Ichthyosaura alpestris

The female of the species. Definately attractive and kissable for any Iguanodon! Seriously, why the name Ichthyosaura for those tiny amphibians, that is beyond me, but of course I can't pass up the Scheffel reference. / Das Weibchen der Spezies. Ganz bestimmt attraktiv genug fuer Iguanodone zum knutschen! Ehrlich gesagt verstehe ich auch nicht warum man diese kleinem Amphibien Ichthyosaura nennt, aber den Bezug zu Scheffel kann ich einfach nicht ignorieren.

They are so cute, but none of the special newt ponds built in the local nature reserves got newts. The sandy artificial run regulating the water by the private pond of the model yachting club however is a newt hotspot, all without interpretive markers talking about them.
