We came across the two-toed amphiuma twice during our field trips. It might not be the prettiest salamander out there, but it is one of the most unique ones. With it's reduced limbs and aquatic life history, it definitely stands out. They were extremely hard to hold due to the mucus it excreted and could possibly give you a nasty bite, but I still believe they are a great species. I think it was one of the best finds we encountered. What better species to represent our class than one that is like no other?
