Breeding California newts (Taricha torosa) in a muddy cow pond in the East Bay region of California. The newt swimming away had attempted to get involved and push the already present gasping male away but was unsuccessful now he swims away as the other 2 sink.

The male will hold onto the female rubbing his chin on her and wafting his tail - if she is charmed he will deposit a spermatophore on the pond bottom which she will pick up to fertilize her eggs.
