The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recently announced a major finding: an unexpectedly dense population of striped newts has been uncovered in the region, marking it as one of the most significant hotspots for the species in the entire state. With their vibrant markings and complex life cycles, these elusive amphibians are proving that even the most overlooked wetlands can harbor extraordinary biodiversity.
