Newt

Today, while we were out for a walk, I came across a rather small newt.


The way to tell a newt from a lizard is by counting the toes. On the front feet lizards have five toes while newts have only four. On the other hand, if you can count the toes at all it must be a newt. Lizards don't hang around to wait while you count their toes.
