Slimy Summer days




(click to enlarge)

When frightened slimy salamanders release slimy substance that acts like glue. That substance gives them their name. They live under logs and in tunnels they built. Like all amphibians they absorb water through their skin.Enjoy!

  2. Nice pictures! How did you find your subject? Did you have to turn over logs?

  3. I could have passed them by many times when Grampy and I were bird watching. I guess we will have to look on the ground sometimes instead of always looking up.
    Your photos are beautiful, can't wait for the next blog.
    Love, Mary
