Seal Salamander (Desmognathus monticola) - coloration and markings
Description:
This was my first find of a Seal Salamander. In the genus of my beloved local Dusky Salamanders (Desmognathus) and so familiar in ways, but much larger than any Dusky and such a beautiful spot pattern. Photographed in a creek near Blue Hole not far from Charlottesville, Virginia (USA).
