Cool Science Videos!

Check out this really cool (and short) video (filmed over at UC Berkeley) on the newts that use to be here in the city. They've been extirpated from SF for >40 years, but may be returning to a lake near you in the not-to-distant future.

Enjoy!   Jon Young, Presidio Trust Wildlife Biologist
