In the wild, their brilliant patterns warn predators of a toxic meal; here, their black-white-pink-orange coloration invites your eyeballs to stay a while. | California Academy of Sciences | Facebook

Spanish Ribbed Newts are such goofy little amphibians! 🤣 It takes them a while to hunt down their food, but they eventually get it. 😅 Have you ever thought about getting one as a pet? It's kinda like having an axolotl except no big gills! #newt #amphibian #amphibians #funny #silly #funnypets #funnyanimals #cutepets #cuteanimals | The Tye-Dyed Iguana
