A crew from Newcastle's public works department recently discovered two Pacific Giant Salamanders.
NEWCASTLE, Wash. – The city of Newcastle says it is taking steps to protect the Pacific Giant Salamander after two of the creatures were discovered in town.
A city spokesperson says a crew from the public works department discovered the salamanders, which are elusive and usually only come out at night. The salamanders make a barking sound when threatened.
During the month of October, the city says it will work with volunteers to install storm drain markers across Newcastle reading: "No Dumping, Drains to River." The storm drain markers will be emblazoned with salamander and salmon logos.
