I used to see those salamanders in my childhood hangout where the zoo wetlands is now. I thought they were extinct. Good to know they are still around. Thanks for the informational post you and beargrass thunder make a great team
Loved this! Our bayous and estuaries are full of muck and critters, and support a whole range of life. Just yesterday I was at an east Texas pond and found a boundary jumper — a carnivorous plant. The so-called zig-zag bladderwort ( Utricularia subulata) isn’t as flashy as sundews or pitcher plants, but they sure are interesting. Eventually, there will be photos.

Thanks for “Muckin around”, a nature walk, a mind opener, a nearby trip that made the day on many levels.

Thank-you Mike! Salamanders are abundant at BCSNP, there is so much good habitat for them.

I have not been in the habit of mucking around, but plan to do more. Wetlands and swamps are underappreciated, so we’ll try to do more of these.
