Salamander traffic jam
mariyam | 8:17 AM | nature | personal/familyPosted because this photo brings back pleasant memories of my childhood in Minnesota. Every fall tiger salamanders by the dozens would accumulate at the base of our outside basement stairwell. It was my not unpleasant chore as a youngster to corral them before they desiccated, and transfer them back to the nearby woods.
Photo of ringed salamanders from the Missouri Department of Conservation, via Nothing To Do With Arbroath.
