“Rare species include the Pacific pond turtle, the California red-legged frog, the California newt, and the California tree frog.”

“Their steep slopes are the nearest thing to a rainforest in Europe, overflowing with springs and pools which are home to salamanders and newts.”

“Among vertebrates, newts and other urodele amphibians show a remarkable capacity for regeneration.”

“On the south side of the plot is a gully of ice age origin, which would hold millions of newts if development drives them a few yards south.”
