Description
The Fire Salamander looks beautiful with its patterned black and yellow shiny skin. Sitting on a mossy stone, it is quite easy to spot, especially since it is pretty large for an amphibian. Its bright body color protects it from predators. They may admire its beauty, but it doesn't look good enough to eat.
Oh look, a Fire Salamander! Anyone who manages to spot this particularly beautiful amphibian in the forest or along a stream can count themselves lucky. Most of the time it prefers to move around at night. During the day it likes to hide in a hole in the ground or a cave. Thanks to its striking black and yellow patterning, most animals keep their distance. They know it's a warning, letting them know it might be poisonous. This specimen here, however, can be stroked by friends without any danger.
