Danube crested newt newt species, the Danube crested newt is more adapted to life along a river system and frequently occurs in flowing water and together with fish.

Adults move to their breeding sites in February or March and usually stay there for six months; occasionally, they may even stay longer or return to the water
Common minke whale in turn, was fathered by a North Atlantic common minke, demonstrating that back-crossing is possible between hybrids of the two species.
