Ambystoma Laterale

These poor guys don't get much attention here. Thought I would post a few pictures that I had from exploring in Michigan earlier in the year.

That's right in my eye.. nice animals. When did you see them spring time , fall or daylight ??

Are these pictures of three different salamanders or of the same one? Great pics!

Thanks all. I believe those pictures were all of the same salamander. I took those pictures back in May, which is a month or so after their breeding season here ends. I tend to find these animals in low quantities throughout the year, except for winter. I don't think they go as far underground hiding as many of the other mole salamanders do. It was daytime.

personally i think they are prettier than tigers, but then again i like the color blue
