Mushroom-tongued salamander - front view, La Isla Escondida, Colombia Our second observation in La Isla Escondida of a Mushroom-tongued salamander. In the Northern Amazon Basin, salamanders are rare, with only 2 species known, both in the same genus: Bolitoglossa. This could be peruviana and altamazonica, or the remote chance of a new report. This one was found by our guide whilst searching for frogs, handled for posing, and then released where it came from.<br />
