Hideo: Oh man, I love Eastern Newts.

Here's the subspecies that I've been workking with off and on...

Central Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens louisianensis), family Salamandridae, found in the central and SE United States

There are 4 subspecies of the Eastern Newt.

The larvae and adults are aquatic, but the middle sub-adult phase, called an "eft" is terrestrial. Som populations, usually in areas that commonly flood, forego the eft phase.

Salamanders in this family, Plethodontidae, do not have lungs and the family is referred to as the "lungless salamanders".

They absorb oxygen through the lining of the mouth and throat (buccopharyngeal respiration), as well as though their skin.
