Yes, and even though they are limp and slimy, any one of them has more courage and will to survive than all the Republicans in the Senate put together. I tried to keep a few newts as pets once, and they are surprisingly feisty. They would rear up out of the water and grab pieces of hard-boiled egg dangling over them.
I had a huge Spotted female who would literally snap and bark when it was “supper time”.
