Do lizards swim?
How do I tell the difference between newts and lizards?
Answer
Quick answer
Lizards are scaly and very quick – if you can catch it, it’s a newt!
Further information
Many people confuse newts (on land) with lizards as they can be a similar size and colour. Newts have smooth skin (which can look velvety) or skin with a ‘warty’ texture, whereas lizards have scaly skin.
Lizards do occasionally swim but if you’ve seen the animal in water then it’s much more likely to be a newt
