CatharticOutlet , 3 months ago #california moment (met a California Giant #Salamander aka Dicamptodon ensatus) #amphibians Photo of my hand on the forest ground near the salamander for scale. Its body is about half as wide as my hand but measured from head to tail it is longer than a hand. It’s about the size of a medium-sized flashlight.
