Título: Nauta Mushroom Tongue Salamander (Bolitoglossa altamazonica)
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
The most commonly observed salamander in the Iquitos region is the Nauta Mushroom Tongue Salamander (Bolitoglossa altamazonica). The species was described by Cope in 1874 (Oedipus altamazonicus); however, there are at least several salamanders masquerading as this species and it is undoubtedly a species complex across the greater region. Based on a number of character differences, this individual may not be the Nauta Mushroom Tongue Salamander; instead, I think it is something else (Ill stand corrected if Im wrong - the character differences between species in the region arent always clear between authorities). All of these salamanders tend to have a patchy distribution and when you find a good spot for them, it is reliably a good spot year after year; however, we never see more than several in a given night. The flat feet help them climb vertical surfaces and even hang upside down beneath leaves. Most individuals are observed within a couple meters of the forest floor and are shy and
