What is another word for newt?
Pronunciation: [njˈuːt] (IPA) 
Newts, the amphibious creatures which belong to the salamander family, are often mistaken for lizards due to their scaly appearance. However, unlike lizards, newts possess soft skin that allows them to breathe through their skin. While "newt" is the common term for these creatures, there are several other synonyms you can use when referring to them. These include triton, eft, warty, and fiddlehead. Triton refers to the newts belonging to the Triton family, while "eft" is used to describe the reddish-brown stage of a newt's life. "Warty" and "fiddlehead," on the other hand, are descriptive terms used to describe the bumpy, wart-like texture of a newt's skin.
