Spring Salamander
(Eurycea sp.)

These long-legged salamanders have tiny eyes, and can be a variety of muted colors, with salt-and-pepper mottling on their backs. Red external gills color their body. They are entirely aquatic, and only occur at spring outflows. It is believed that the salamanders were primarily surface-dwellers but have adapted to underwater living because of unsuitable conditions. Many of these salamander species are restricted to single locations.
