Dear all,
Between 8 and 12 of December, with some of my colleagues, I made a field trip in Jiului Gorge, Gorj County, Romania, searching for otter, lynx , bear and wolfs as part of a research in the Jiului Gorge National Park. Also, as herpetologist, my goal was to see if are some amphibians still active in the wild in this area.
We manage to find otters, bears and some wild cats, but no sign of wolfs or lynx.
Also, on a valey I find two big males fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra salamandra) still active, but clearly looking for a winter shelter.
The weather was worm (10 degrees Celsius) on 9 when I find the salamanders, but on 10 drop to -3.
Also, in a piece of concrete pipe I find 4 common frogs (Rana temporaria).
See the photos of the salamanders below.
Also, I put some photos of the habitat.
