The Eastern Tiger Salamander: Everything You Need To Know!

On a nocturnal adventure during a winter rainstorm, we encounter the largest terrestrial salamander in North Carolina: the Eastern tiger salamander!

When looking for amphibians, it's always important to be respectful of the sensitive microhabitats where they dwell! If you are flipping logs, rocks, or really anything that a critter might be using as a home (which is basically anything), please please please put them back exactly as you found them. It might not seem like a big deal, but for these little gummy lizards a slight temperature or humidity difference can mean life or death, so do your part to help salamanders out!

Patreon is gone for now...I wasn't able to keep up with an additional content stream, and want to provide a better experience for my fans. Looking into alternatives now.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

-Ben Zino

"How many are your works, Lord? In wisdom you made them all, the earth is full of your creatures."
Psalms 104:24
