We used to call these mudpuppies when we were kids. Love to see them! Nice find.

Great eye to see this, Christine! I think I have only seen gilled salamanders once. Really neat that you found one to photograph.

Well seen and well shot Christine. You sure have a good eye and good knowledge of natures small creatures.

At least it lasts long enough for the salamanders to grow. I thought this was a tadpole from the thumbnail. Great capture. V.

Very well seen and captured! As for its name, that's easy for you to say! :)))
