Pacific Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) - rare terrestrial adult
Description:
These days many Pacific Giants remain in the water in a neotonic (un-metamorphosed) state their whole lives. On my Oregon trip, I was determined to find a terrestrial adult, and thanks to the combined efforts of a couple of obsessed friends, we located 2 in the day we searched the forest together.
