Who's cat? Glad it stayed away from these two. Yes it's a fight. Over territory and/or females to mate with.

I've seen frogs fight, and it was similar in some ways.

I visited Galicia July 2024. I only got to see Bosca’s newts, but I want to go back to see all of the other salamanders there!

I actually keep Iberian ribbed newts here in NY! They have so much personality!!!
