Here in Colorado, the good folks at the Department of Transportation are going to finance fancy wildlife crossing corridors over I-70 to allow various wild beasts to cross the road unmolested by SUVs. maybe salamander bridges are in order?

They love our pond. Fortunately for our budding caninaturalist, Cabra, and the Mighty Quinn, they rarely feel the need to commit suicide on the road. If this were the case, it would be quite hazardous since they are extremely poisonous. I hope Ari's salamanders are more benign, albeit more adventuresome.Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-21451582691373776602008-04-24T10:23:00.000-04:002008-04-24T10:23:00.000-04:00An interesting post!

I don't know how the people down the road at the stream like me dropping them off there but hey when it comes to snappers...its every man for himself! I like baby ducks more than turtles anyway! I used to love finding salamandars in the woods as a kid further south from here, but haven't seen any on my property since I've been here. :-(Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-4063864976364335712008-04-23T06:46:00.000-04:002008-04-23T06:46:00.000-04:00I see the squashed salamanders and frogs on my roa...I see the squashed salamanders and frogs on my road too.

Luckly, my college has a program in which we place fences along the roadways and for those who get through but not across, we "harvest" the eggs.
