Ness<p>lots more amphibian activity tonight. one of my favorites found, behold the four-toed salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum) in all their tiny glory. Most salamanders have 4 toes on front and 5 toes on hind feet, but this one is unique with 4 toes on all. sorry hard to photograph that characteristic but please enjoy other cuteness characteristics. <br><a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/amphibians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amphibians</span></a> <a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/salamanders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>salamanders</span></a> <a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/FourToedSalamander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FourToedSalamander</span></a> <a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/HemidactyliumScutatum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HemidactyliumScutatum</span></a></p>
