It's Newt Mating Season in California
🕑 Added 2021-12-09 23:21:00 +0000 UTCWe thought you'd like to know California newts are on the move right now! Every winter, they leave the safety of their forest burrows and travel as far as three miles to mate in the pond where they were born.
If you are out for a hike in one of coastal California's many parks, be on the look out. In the San Francisco Bay Area, try the pond at the UC Botanical Garden, where we filmed our episode.
