Tarahumara Salamander

Ambystoma rosaceum (species)

On the Web

On Wikipedia

The Tarahumara salamander (Ambystoma rosaceum) is a freshwater species of mole salamander in the family Ambystomatidae, endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitats are temperate forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, freshwater marshes, pastureland, and ponds. The Tarahumara salamander may actually be two different species separated by the Sierra Madre Occidental in northwestern Mexico. It's classified as Least Concern, but habitat loss, introduced predatory fish, and increasing agriculture in the area pose threats to its survival. The Government of Mexico classifies it as Pr, meaning Special Protection.
