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.
This observation ends our 4th day in La Isla Escondida.
