Notes
Three Dark-sided Salamanders seen at the entrance of a cave on a sweltering day, but the cave stayed in the 70s. All retreated deeper into their crevices when approached with flashlights, and two are unpictured. You can see the top of the tail in the picture we obtained of the third specimen.
