Salamanders are an important environmental health indicator because they breathe through their skin, meaning that proper land management and exclusion of pesticides and herbicides are incredibly important for them to continue to use an environment.

This white-spotted slimy salamander was found in one of my neighbor's native garden spaces during a heavy rain. All of the mulch, native plants, and rocks in the drainage ditch give this guy plenty of food and moist places to hide. Across the road is a manicured lawn where all the dead leaves that maintain moist soils are leaf blown away, and poisons and fertilizers are added to a grass lawn whose roots don't penetrate deeply enough into the soil to break it up and provide loose soil for salamanders to burrow into. How we manage spaces for ourselves determines whether animals like this one can remain in our cities or not, so I urge you to make property decisions with them in mind.

Most salamander enthusiasts have a favorite species or a top 5, but I feel like few of us have favorite individual salamanders (mostly because it can be hard to tell whether you're seeing the same guy year after year). This guy and his sibling are probably my favorite individuals I've ever run into. This guy is a spotted salamander, which are typically black with yellow spots, but this guy doesn't fully express the normal pigment in his skin. Ran into his brother the year before (they have slightly different spot patterns).

Rare #frog rediscovered after 130 years phys.org/news/2025-03-rare-fro

Lost for more than a century: the rediscovery of Alsodes vittatus (Anura, Alsodidae), one of the rarest and most elusive #amphibians from #Chile zookeys.pensoft.net/article/13

"This is an important milestone for South American #herpetology... Most of the other Alsodes species are either threatened with #extinction or we don't know enough about them to assess their status"
