🦎 Many salamanders are ambush predators. The bigger, bulkier species tend to lunge at prey. Smaller species—including long-tailed salamanders and cave salamanders—have a different strategy. 👀🦗 With prey in its sights, a salamander quickly contracts its muscles, causing the hyoid bone in its mouth to protrude. 👅 In the blink of an eye—11 milliseconds—the salamander’s elongated, sticky tongue has secured its meal. #AmphibianWeek | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

Here we have the Red-backed Salamander! This tiny guy is native to the eastern North American woodlands. They are named for their iconic red coloration on their back! #Redbackedsalamander #salamander #amphibian #hoppinhelp | Hopp'in Help

19M views · 46K reactions | I flipped this northern red salamander and was so distracted by its vibrant colors that I somehow did not even notice there was another! After the fact while editing the footage I spotted the one that got away. This was from a day of seeping where I saw 8 of these beautiful and variable salamanders.
