California Slender Salamander

California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus) is found primarily in coastal mountain areas of Northern California. A lungless salamander, it breathes through its skin. With a narrow body and head, the slender salamander is 3 to 5 inches long and has four toes on each foot. From approximately October to March, the California slender salamander seeks cover near streams and other moist environments, and can often be found under rotting logs or rocks.
