Tiger Salamander Trying Not to be Seen

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

The tiger salamander, like most amphibians, is locally endangered in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. We saw this one early in the morning in camp at Colter Bay Village, GTNP. June 2009.

	Voted 10/10	Arthur just said that Tiger Salamanders are locally endangered in the Yellowstone area. Seems to me, the Tiger Salamander should take "propagation lessons" from the grasshopper. You GO Tiger !!! !!

	Hasn't voted	Nice idea, Larry, but a salamander would eat the grasshoppers first. C'est l'amour.

	Voted 10/10	Sorry, but I don't speak French. All it does is get me in trouble. Yes, a salamander is quite a ways up there in the food chain.
