Amphibians
Albanian Water Frog (Pelophylax Shqipericus)- This species is a medium-sized member of the western Palaearctic water frog group. They have specialized, webbed feet that allow them to swim well in their aquatic habitats. These frogs are known as "true frogs," as they are what many people consider to be typical frogs.
Anatolian Newt (Neurergus Strauchii)- The back and sides of this species are black and covered with small, irregularly dispersed yellow spots. The males will often have a bluish silver color running down their tails. The Anatolian newt is primarily nocturnal, but is also known to be active during the day. It also has toxic secreted skin.
Arouss al Ayn (Salamandra Infraimmaculata)- This is the largest member of the genus Salamandra. There are usually four spots on the large, squarish head: one behind each eye and one behind each paratoid gland. The Arouss al Ayn is dependent on aquatic habitats for reproduction, returning to rock pools, springs, quarries or slow-moving streams when it reaches sexual maturity at three to four years old.
Betic Midwife Toad (Alytes Dickhilleni)- A small, distinctive species belonging to an ancient family of amphibians, the Betic Midwife Toad is one of just five surviving species of midwife toad. The name of these toads refers to the unusually high level of parental care exhibited by the male. These toads are nocturnal and shy, they spend most of their time secluded under rocks by water.
Common Frog (Rana Temporaria)- Undoubtedly Britain's most well-known amphibian, the Common Frog is typically found in garden ponds. They are typically brown or greyish in colour, but some individuals may be yellow or reddish. The large hind legs feature webbed feet; they power strong jumps and an excellent swimming ability.
Common Toad (Bufo Bufo)- It can alter the tone of its skin to suit its surroundings; the upper surface may be brown, greenish or grey, and occasionally features dark markings. The underside is typically white or grey, and the eye, which has a horizontal pupil, is copper in colour. The most obvious feature that distinguishes the common toad from frogs is its warty skin; these dark warts secrete powerful toxins when the toad is harassed.
Great Crested Newt (Triturus Cristatus)- These amphibians are known for their long crest that runs from their head to tail. They are native to Britan and are highly endangered. Great crested newts feed on a range of aquatic invertebrates, but occasionally tackle large prey items such as adult smooth newts and large dragonflies.
