Yes, salamandra salamandra, they’re native to large parts of Europe.
tail flickers I imagine. Would scare the crap out of me as a kid. Flicks tail > me running away, screaming
Speaking of salamanders and newts None are native to Australia bu the Smooth Newt has been introduced into the wild near Melbourne and has started to spread. Probably released pets.
Are they edible?
I guess that all depends on how hungry you are?
On a scale from 1 to 10, i’m a solid Haitian.
lol, I shouldn’t laugh…
On a less serious note. A lot of amphibians are poisonous, but you are talking to someone who has eaten Luncheon Meat - Type II… straight from the can… cold!
If I had the choice I would be taking my chances with roast salamander
The cane toads (also introduced… deliberately… which was an absolute disaster!) will probably eat them…
Though, evolution or learning or both in action - the crows here (corvus coronoides) have learned to flip the cane toads onto their backs before eating them so they don’t get the poison glands…
Moms skipped Monday and finished everything except the top border row yesterday Tuesday September 17, 2024.
I will make a wild prediction that she finishes it today.
