Adult newts feast on tadpoles of frogs
and toads and even their tadpoles will tackle stuff that as big as
themselves

It is amusing to dig up earthworms about 1-1/2" long and drop them into
water in front of a newt - the newt can never resist and will struggle for a
long time to get the whole worm down. I've even seen two newts eating the
same worm from each end and having a fight when they reach the middle.
