Fire Salamander

Oh look, a Fire Salamander! Anyone who manages to spot this particularly beautiful amphibian in the forest or along a stream can count themselves lucky. Most of the time it prefers to move around at night. During the day it likes to hide in a hole in the ground or a cave. Thanks to its striking black and yellow patterning, most animals keep their distance. They know it's a warning, letting them know it might be poisonous. This specimen here, however, can be stroked by friends without any danger. 3.9 x 2.6 x 1 inch. Ages 3 and up.
