Still Waters Posted November 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Conservationists at Chester Zoo have successfully bred one of the world’s rarest amphibians – the Catalan newt – in an attempt to save it from extinction. The zoo is the first organisation outside Catalonia to become involved in the breeding project for the newt, the rarest amphibian in Europe. The critically endangered species, also known as the wild Montseny newt, is from the Montseny mountain range in north-eastern Catalonia, about 60 miles (100km) north of Barcelona. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/nov/17/chester-zoo-breeds-12-montseny-catalan-newts 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
