Ponds attract a large variety of wildlife in and around the city.
Among these are several different types of amphibian. Amphibians are animals that live on land and return to water to breed each year. The species found in Leeds include the common frog and common toad as well as three species of newt. Many of us have seen frogs because they are usually active during the day. Toads and newts are less active during the day and are most easily seen at night.
