Field notes

What to look for

A slim dark salamander with a yellow or green stripe down the back and long toes on the hind feet; about 10 cm.

Where

Mountain and foothill ponds and damp forest in the Rockies, from Waterton to Jasper.

When

April to September; found under logs and rocks near water.

Tips

The bright back stripe. Tiger salamanders are much larger and blotched, and live on the prairie.
