  1. Last weekend I was happy to encounter for second time this beautiful creature. An not only one - two of them. This one, which was about 15 cm, obviously a young one. And a second one, about 22 cm long. In Bulgaria it is protected specie according to The Berne Convention, Appendix III. Posted 11 years ago

The fire salamander is possibly the best-known salamander species in Europe. It is black with yellow spots or stripes to a varying degree; some specimens can be nearly completely black while on others the yellow is dominant.
