This past weekend our friends took us to Galiano Island. They have a house right by the ocean and have 21 acres of forest so there is lots of wildlife. We saw deer, rough-skinned newts, tree frogs, river otters, and seals. The deer were around the property and the forest, the otters were down on the rocks by the ocean, and the frogs and newts were in the forest. When we were driving back to the ferry terminal on the last day it was raining and apparently the newts were migrating. There were tons crossing the road! Whenever we saw them we would jump out of the car to pick them up and move them off the road. One of the newts we rescued was a tiny baby only about 3 centimetres long! Hopefully most of the newts made it. We had lots of fun and will be going back to Galiano for Thanksgiving with other friends, we can't wait!
3 newts!
