I'll start this off with a few photos of the very special
Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander (
Ambystoma bishopi).
Some of these photos are obviously of a posed individual, but three of these are individuals as they were found, and they were not touched. I like when that can be done, especially with salamanders, which are so often under objects.
This last flatwoods salamander is in metamorphosis (larval striping still present, but gills absent, metallic iridophores developing in darkly-pigmented areas, head shape nearly adult-like).
