Fire Salamander and Alpine Newt, Amphibians: Pt 2. Feuersalamander Alpenmolch

Great documentary! I love Fire Salamanders :-) I live in Bavaria and I saw one in the woods as I was a child - but since then I never found one again, they're hiding really well :-) Grüße aus Deutschland

@lariantero Thank you very much Lariantero! I'm glad you got some nice shots, and are lucky enough to have Fire Salamanders near you!

Outstanding piece of Natural History. I will look for local populations in Southern France myself, this was very helpful.

I've just discovered a fire salamander on my yard in Bretagne, France. My cats tried to go for it but I frightened them because of the poisonous look of the beast! Right I was, it seems. What happens if a cat gets hold of one and it secrets its poisons?

[BryanMaltais]

@NovaScotiaChick...convulsions­, paralysis, difficulty breathing, and possibly death.

will licking this tiger salamander make me hallucinate ?

[BryanMaltais]

@tonka4011, No Tonka it will not, but it will make you convulse and hyperventilate.

cool, I've seen many fire salamanders in the summer when I go back home to Serbia. Most of the ones I've found are in the larval stage in the summer, but I have seen some on land as well. The ones you found are also bigger in comparison to the ones that i've run into. Overall the biodiversity of central and southern European forests is amazing. Here in Vancouver the amphibious variety is also pretty rich.

[BryanMaltais]

@ghostvault , yep, the pacific northwest not only has great amphibian biodiversity, but some unique and bizarre herps too.
