#AmbystomaWeek ! Next, let's check out the nominate species — the Mole Salamander. Looks almost like a #Temnospondyl with its comically huge head.

These juvenile looking adults have become that way through a process known as #Paedomorphosis #Ambystoma #Ambystomatalpoideum #MoleSalamander #Salamander #SalamandersOfInstagram #Salamanders (at The Amphibian Foundation)
