Post-metamorphic Frosted Flatwoods Salamander (this picture is from early summer).  The Amphibian Foundation holds the only captive collection of this species (Ambystoma cingulatum) on the planet, and are currently building a state-of-the-art ‘salamander lab’ to rear them to adulthood. At that point we will begin captive breeding experiments. Any offspring we are able to produce at the foundation will be released into protected habitat under state and federal authority. #Ambystoma #Ambystomacingulatum #Ambystomatidae #FlatwoodsSalamander #FlatwoodsSalamanders #FrostedFlatwoodsSalamander #USGS #USFWS #SAZoo #GADNR #FFWCC #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #SalamandersNeedourHelp #EndangeredSpecies #RacingExtinction #EndExtinction #FrogsOfInstagram #SalamandersOfInstagram #frogs #frog #salamanders #salamander #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony #CaptiveBreedingColony #Mandica #NeotenicZoo #TetrapodZoo #YoungScientistsLeague #ysci #y-sci #CritterCamp #Critter-Camp (at The Amphibian Foundation, Inc)
