The salamander is beautiful with its shiny black and yellow skin. It is very easy to spot when it is sitting on a cushion of moss, because it is very large for an amphibian. The bright color of its body protects it from predators. It is very pretty, but not so pretty that you would bite it. Oh, a salamander! Seeing this beautiful amphibian in the woods or by a stream is a great blessing, because it almost always comes out at night. During the day it prefers to hide in a hole in the ground or in a cave. Although it has a very striking black and yellow colour, most animals keep their distance because it is poisonous. However, this one here can be petted by its friends without any danger
