Earlier this week I got the chance to see my first metamorphosed Pacific giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) at a state park in Portland, Oregon. I had seen the larvae and paedomorphs before but never a metamorph. On Monday I found a small metamorph under a rock near a creek.
Then Tuesday I got a call from one of the park rangers saying that some nature damp campers had found "something interesting". I rushed over to the park to see the biggest terrestrial salamander ever. It was at least a foot long. It was all I could do not to bring him home!
