Striking salamander species found

[minidog]

A striking new species of lungless salamander has been found living in a small stream in the Appalachian foothills of the US.

The salamander is so distinct that it's been classified within its own genus, a taxonomic grouping that usually includes a host of related species.

Interesting. Maybe the "missing link" between fish and amphibians?

Cool, Mini-D! :thumbsup:

Is it born from fire?
