An eft is a stage in the life of a newt. Share this or other web sites with your teacher for verification.
red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens)
Characteristics: There are three distinct life stages: 1) aquatic larvae (tadpole), 2) terrestrial adult (red eft), 3) aquatic adult (newt). The aquatic adult has a olive green to yellow brown dorsum, and pale to yellow belly covered with black dots. There are as many as 21 red dots, bordered with black, present throughout all life stages. Sometimes these are arranged roughly in two rows down the back. The smooth skin secretes a noxious substance when injured. The red eft is brick red to orange red in color, with many black dots, and a dorsolateral row of black edged red spots. Color may range from yellow- or red-brown immediately after transforming from larval stage, to very dark brown right before transforming into an adult. It measures 1 3/8 - 3 3/8 in. (3.5 - 8.6 cm). It stays in the red eft stage from 1-3 years. In some areas it metamorphoses directly into the aquatic adult form. The tadpole is brown green. During the winter the male, aquatic newt undergoes morphological changes in preparation to mate. Metamorphosis occurs in approximately 3 months. In the coastal plain, this species often does not enter the terrestrial stage, but remains aquatic.

Sure there is, we just call it a newt, but it's the same thing. Tell your history teacher to go onto www.wikipedia.org and type in "eft" you'll get newt back. Hope that helps, oh yeah and it's a salamander.

An immature newt, especially the reddish-orange terrestrial form of a North American species, Notophthalmus viridescens.

Look it up in a dictionary or encyclopedia and take it to school to show your teacher. I think it's just a stage in a newt's life.
