Back in the 70’s when I was a kid, we would find a #TigerSalamander under every log out in the woods of #NorthernMinnesota. Since that time, pollution has significantly impacted #amphibian populations. Salamanders are especially vulnerable and in most areas around here you are lucky to run across one these days. It’s been at least twenty years since I’ve seen one, which made this encounter special. This find was even more special because I had never seen this species in person before; a #BlueSpottedSalamander. Normally I would never handle a salamander because bug repellent and sunscreen residue can pass through their skin and kill them, but I knew my hands were free of anything poisonous so I carefully and quickly evacuated this guy to a safe location after I discovered him in our campsite’s woodpile. #LakeSuperior #Camping #HerpLove https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZLOLmAki2/?igshid=pzmg9of3y1b3

Found a little friend at work. Poor thing was so full of dust and cat hair, he couldn’t even see anything. I washed him off and look how cute he is 😊 glad I saved a life! #vegan #vegetarian #vegansofinstagram #vegansofig #rawvegan #veganism #rawvegansofig #rawvegansofinstagram #rawveganlife #rawvegans #rawveganlifestyle #rawveganism #salamander #savealife #amphibian #tigersalamander #salamandersofinstagram #amphibiansofinstagram (at Edmonton Garrison)

Tiger Salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum Several years ago, the Tiger Salamander was added to Georgia's State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). The Amphibian Foundation is working to conserve this species in the state by developing captive breeding protocols in 'pseudo-captivity'. #TigerSalamander #AmphibiousAF (at The Amphibian Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmge76jA77x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xwwhlznsssx0

#AmbystomaWeek ! Let's turn this mutha out with a Tiger Salamander — Celebrating what is quite possibly the greatest group of amphibians — #Ambystomatidae Cool Fact: Larval Tiger Salamanders, AKA Water Dogs, AKA Dino Dogs can, if necessary, grow extra teeth and a much larger mouth in order to eat their siblings. You know, if food gets scarce. #CannibalMorph Larvae that exhibit this cannibal morph secret a hormone to suppress this expression in conspecifics. #Ambystoma #Ambystomatigrinum #TigerSalamander #Salamander #SalamandersOfInstagram #Salamanders (at The Amphibian Foundation)

Another amphibian at @riversidereptilesec is the 𝙏𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 Here are 5 #funfacts: ① This is the only salamander species that has pads on its feet to help it dig its own burrows. Burrowing in the soil keeps its skin hydrated. ② They are Illinois’ state amphibian! ③ They are poisonous; they have a gland on their tail that excretes a poisonous milky substance that’s toxic to predators. ④ They can live up to 15 years. ⑤ They average between 6-8 inches, though they can grow up to 14 inches, therefore, they are the largest terrestrial salamanders in the world! #funfacts #animalfunfacts #tigersalamander #salamander #amphibian #wildlife #wildlifepictures #wildlifepics #wildlifepage #wildgrammers #wildplanet #savetogether #saveourwildlife #igswildlife #earthoffline #canonwildlifephotography #animalcaptures #animalove #animalartists #wewilltravelagain #travelfromhome #virtualtravel #creativecontentbuilders #femalephotographersnetwork #julieannbloniaszphotography #propetpix (at Riverside Reptiles Education Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnZdKnA0KH/?igshid=52va6925qp3i
