Apparently this doofus got hit by a car, couldn't fly, and still lead a merry chase through a swamp. They both seem pretty over it.
 
@Zookeeper Gabe I was watching a video where a guy just got some Lake Urmia, yellow spotted, newts. The container said they can be kept fully aquatic for their entire life. If you keep them fully aquatic and since they have lungs, do they have to go to the surface every once in awhile to breathe or do they have another system to breath under water? I didn't see a set of gills on them.

They do primarily breathe by surfacing and gulping air, I would also guess they can absorb some oxygen directly through their skin like many other caudates.
 
Snake Discovery has a 24/7 live stream of Rex, their American alligator.
