Striped Newt vs. Eastern Newt
Eastern Newts live in the same south Georgia ponds; the two are close relatives. A: A red stripe along each side of the back (broken in adults); red spots without black rings in the Striped Newt; a row of red spots ringed with black in the Eastern Newt. B: Orange-brown with red side stripes; stays near its pond in the Striped Newt; bright orange-red with black-ringed red spots; wanders far from water in the Eastern Newt. Striped Newts breed in fishless ponds in longleaf pine sandhills and flatwoods and are scarce.
