Alligator! How stupid, and what repercussions if they can live in our climate. Hopefully there was only one.

Interesting. Wonder if it can detect GCNs as separate from the other newt species.

I corresponded for a while with someone who was training GCN detection dogs- they trained them exclusively on crested newts, and were expecting them to detect only GCN. GCN do have a distinctive smell- it's been described as like 'bruised poppy-heads' or horseradish.

Fascinating! I guess it's hard to imagine how powerful a dog's sense of smell is compared to ours.
