salamander
Do you know an animal called salamander? It is a small animal that looks like a lizard in the same amphibians as frogs. There are various types of salamanders in various parts of Japan, and here in Hokkaido, there are two types of salamanders and kita salamanders (*only in the Kushiro Marsh). In fact, many yezo salamanders live in the mountains around Bear Mountain, and every year around April to May they come to lay eggs in puddles in the park. The Ezo salamander in this photo was born from an egg collected this year and has the same shape as an adult, but it is still a child. By the way, there is a pattern like gold powder on the body (I will become an adult over many years), but the closer I get to adulthood, the less this gold powder disappears, and the color of my body becomes black. (Strange!) Currently, yezo salamanders are on display in BarePoint, so please observe them when you come (*^∀^*) I like dark places, so I think there are many things that are hidden under rocks? 【Breeding Nagata】
