2011-04-25 Lower Austria, district Mdling (mixed forest, 350 msm Quadrant 7863/1).They move slowly, and usually rely on the deterring effect of their black-and-yellow colour. This one here did not move at all right in the middle of a mountain bike track. (I took it on safer grounds after taking this shot.)German name: Feuersalamander

Salamandra atra ssp. atraAlpine SalamanderSlo.: planinski moerad, rni moeradDat.: July 7. 2013Lat.: 46.44206 Long.: 13.64447 Code: Bot_730/2013_DSC7024Habitat: cool, damp alpine meadow, stony pasture, moderately east inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground, humid but sunny place, exposed to direct precipitations, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 1.980 m (6.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Place: Mt. Mangart's flats, near central snow valley west of the peak of the mountain, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: A fully terrestrial amphibia. Can be found only in the European Alps with isolated populations in the Balkan Dinaric Mountains. It usually occurs at elevations between 900 and 2,100 m and is relatively hard to be spotted because it is active only in bad weather, most often after rain. Usually they are hidden below stones and vegetation. Several strange facts are characteristic for this animal apart of their ovi-viviparous method of reproduction by which it gives birth on land to an average of two fully metamorphosed offspring. This species doesn't need water in the reproduction process. The newly born animals are sometimes almost one-half of size in length on the parents. Their life expectancy is over ten years, and pregnancy last three years (at the elevation of this observation). They spend their full life on a very small territory, in a circle of only a few tens of meters. Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "O1" representing a potentially endangered species.

Summary[
edit] Description: There is a small location in Spain where Salamandra salamandra shows color polymorphism. Here we can find a whole range of morphs, going from whole black (as the one on the pic) to whole yellow (coming soon :3) with brownish forms in between. Unfortunately, as soon as the new subspecies was announced, illegal catchings were performed to satisfy the demand for the illegal pet trade *. Preventing this is a must. This tiny and irreverent newt population must be protected, so we can go there in future generations and still see them!

In this link we can see a post in Caudata.org where a proud owner of a couple alfredschmidti shows us 5 new babies..so beautiful but..how the hell did that couple alfredschimditi reach his home?
