Titre: Nauta Mushroom Tongue Salamander (Bolitoglossa altamazonica)
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
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
