| Arboreal Salamander 26Nov08 |
|
||
| In wet weather, Arboreal salamanders emerge from far underground to soak up moisture. | ||
|
||
| Lung less, the Arboreal salamander respires entirely through its skin. | ||
|
||
| Large eyes, broad muscular head, massive jaws, ideal for hunting prey in dark underground tunnels. | ||
|
||
| Square toes and a prehensile tail, this 5" female is typical of the species. Fragile, avoid handling. | ||
|
||
| Arboreals retreat far underground once the rainy season is over. To learn more about the arboreal salamander, visit the California Herps website. |
