Fire Salamander

So mysterious, so beautiful 🀩


Let me introduce an unusial small habitant in my native πŸ’™πŸ’› Ukrainian Carpathians πŸ•, where I like hiking.

It's fire salamander. This small amphibious is called by the locals a rain lizard 🦎. All thanks to the love of this animal for moisture and coolness. It's contrasting black small body with yelow-orange spots have fascinated at all times😍.
The salamander is listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, so watch your steps while walking in the arials of habitations of these cuty animals. The locals attribute mystycal properties to fire salamanders, maybe because of salamander body emit small poison. It's not dangerous for people, but it's better not to touch the salamander or at least wash your hands carefully after contact with it.
So please be careful not for mystical reasons😜, but for saving the salamander in the nature!
