Transcript of great crested newts courtship
They have this amazing courtship behaviour, where the male will entice in a female and he'll fan his tail to fan pheromones in her direction - to draw her in.
It's actually an external fertilisation. So the male will produce a packet of sperm which he lays on the ground, and he has to get the female to walk over the top of it.
It's a fabulous dance that they do.
