A highly endangered great crested newt that lives in a forest pond near Joensuu is the latest burgeoning Finnish YouTube star in nature livestreams set up by preservation group WWF Finland.
The newt is the rarest amphibian in Finland, and with few exceptions only lives on Åland and in North Karelia. In the cold winter months, newts live in damp forest areas and during spawning season thrive in forest ponds.
The organisation added the newt to a roster of other wildlife live video feeds from across the country, the most famous of which is possibly its Saimaa ringed seal livestream.
In the newt video feed, the small and endangered amphibian can be seen just below the pond surface, swishing his prehistoric-looking tail as it swims around the grassy, crystal clear water. The organisation said this feed was the first time it was using a floating camera.
WWF Finland also features live feeds of an osprey's nest on Lake Saimaa and a busy 'bird island' in Helsinki.
