DFO’s Animals: Salamander

 (The Spokesman-Review)

People watch a salamander cross a roadway in New Haven, Vt., Sunday. They volunteered on a recent night to carry salamanders, frogs and newts across the road during their annual migration to mate. On rainy nights in early spring, roads between forests and vernal pools are hopping and crawling with activity. On some nights, hundreds of amphibians cross small stretches of roads to mate. But many don’t make it, getting squashed by cars. (AP Photo/Alden Pellett)
