This is a new species from my trip yesterday to an area near Shenandoah. The Seal Salamander. This feisty little guy is a type of dusky salamander, and is very hard to differentiate from the Northern Dusky Salamander (don’t be fooled by my previous post, they turn black and patternless with age, and that one is quite old – normally they are more brown and patterned.) Today I’ll be heading to the east near the Potomac River where a few more salamanders live – hopefully I’ll be able to find them.
