I found this salamander sitting on a concrete stoop outside my basement door. It acted rather sluggish and was a bit dry so I put it in the creek to see if it would revive a bit. It seemed to be a bit better once it was wet again but only swam for a second then just sank into a deeper part of the creek and disappeared.
