California Giant Salamander
Creekside 28May05
Rotting logs provide excellent habitat for a variety of forest dwellers.
Including the secretive California Giant Salamander.
These Giants can reach lengths of 14 inches. (This one measured 8"+.)
Although Giants appear quite harmless, never attempt to pick one up.
Giants are aggressive when annoyed and their sharp teeth can inflict a painful bite.
To learn more about this secretive salamander, visit the California Herps website.
