Notes
Found at W.C. Johnson Park deep into the swamp off the boardwalk. Small Mouth Salamanders were also in the area so differentiating the two species was a little tricky but i am almost 100% positive this is a Mole Salamander because of how much more chunky it was, how much larger its head was, and how short its tail was.
