Fire bellied newt tail fanning

[BlackWolf25]

What does tail fanning look like when a fire bellied newt does it?

The newt usually arcs and the tail points forward and runs parallel to the newts body. The tail does a shake in a wave fashion at a very fast speed.

Here is a example video of a L. vulgaris (Smooth newt) tail fanning. Fanning is pretty universal for newts as far looks are concerned. My C. cyanurus tail fanning looks just like this.
