Nachima · 8 months ago
The Southern Slimy Salamander lives in the southeastern United States, from southern South Carolina to central Florida. The salamander is named after Arnold B. Grobmani, a zoologist who studied these creatures. It is black or brown, covered with white or silver spots, and feeds primarily on small invertebrates. Similar to its northern cousins, its unique defense mechanism involves secreting a sticky substance when threatened.
