Project Description
For this class assignment, students were prompted to create an informational poster to illustrate a story within the fields of medicine or biology. This didactic piece is intended to illustrate the unique defense mechanism the Iberian ribbed newt uses to defend against predators. This amphibian is one many people have not heard about or seen and its defense mechanism is difficult to capture. Additionally, this poster is intended to provide context for the environment in which the newt is normally found.
