Salamanders (5)

I believe the answer is:

newts

'salamanders' is the definition.
(newt is a kind of salamander)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for newts that I've seen before include "Kind of water lizards or efts" , "Small amphibians, efts" , "creatures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
