Notes

Flipped under rocks in a barren rocky hole in the side of a cliff that had water dripping into it. Was emaciated. This salamander may have been lost - there was a large pile of debris that had been pushed off the path right next to the hole - he could have been pushed over with the debris, crawled into the hole, and couldn't find his way out.
