Description: This photo of the Federally Threatened Frosted Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum) shows this animal at an advanced larval stage. The adults look very different! It was found in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Historically, scattered populations occurred in restricted habitats in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. However, this species has not been found in Alabama since the early 1970s. This animal was captured under a permit issued to the U.S. Geological Survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It was photographed and released unharmed. Photo credit: Alan Cressler (acressler on Flickr)
