Dusty Lens: Golden Spike Salamander


Almost ran over this fella on Sunday, as we were out riding on Golden Spike Road, west of Edmonton. The tiger salamander was crossing the road and scurried out of the path of my wheel at the last second. We stopped and went back for a second take. He/she was about 8-inches long, prehistoric looking, and feisty. Penn transferred Sal to the ditch, where life is a little more laid back.

  1. For some reason, this salamander creeps me out a bit while at the same time reminding me of Pokemon characters. Weird.
