Mac of Cygnet Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just replaced my shower waste pump, and on lifting the removable floor, found this little fella happily swimming around (at least he looked happy when I found him - perhaps less so now coping with the big wide world) Spiders, yes, but newts? How on earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac of Cygnet Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 How cute. I understand that the Whale Gulper is a natural predator. It wasn't a whale gulper. Perhaps that's how it survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
