  1. Great Crested Newt – FYI they are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, so be careful with the little guy.

  2. I mean Northumberland ain’t all that, but I wouldn’t call it a recycle bin.

  3. A newt, be careful with some they are very endangered. I lived on an army camp where the firing range shot over a small stream that had some very rare endangered newts in, that i brought to class one day, the teacher wasnt sure then the head was mortified and they were returned with an apology and a 2 week cease fire on the range while experts had a look.

  4. I did NOT think this dude was about half a metre long

  5. I thought it was a Komodo Dragon, you forgot to include the banana for scale.

  6. My granddad used to make me kill newts when we were out gardening

  7. I thought he was missing an arm at first glance, with it lying to his left

  8. Here’s me, hoping to see newts in the pond, and you find one under a wheelie bin.

  9. Embarrassed.

    He’s been telling everybody he was having it away with a butterfly in posh hotels.

    Not a two-legged beetle under a bin.

  10. My mates job is to check future building sites etc for them and relocate or rearrange work around any nest until after any potential young have left nests, there must be millions spent of tax money looking after these and other creatures and god knows how much lost from contractors whose jobs are held up haha

  11. I think his name is Trevor, he can be a bit of a dick but he’s nice when you get to know him.

  12. Beautiful, I have a few common newts in my garden, I plan on moving my pont this autumn, I hope they come back. I’m only moving it about 10 yards away, but the raised beds I have it in between are falling apart and it’s causing a danger

  13. Baby demogorgon mate, burn it with fire to be safe

  14. I’ve seen the film.

    That is what you call a Godzilla.

  15. Have to scoop these out of my room on a near daily basis and deposit them back outside. I’m in the cellar of an old house and they just kind of pop out of nowhere, I just look down sometimes and it’s like bam, two new suckers about to go through a religious experience while the giant hairless monkey takes em on the godexpress back to nature

  16. Yeah. I used to live next to a pond and it was full of these guys. Move it to somewhere safe.
