[National Geographic] Spotted Salamander hatching (점박이도롱뇽 새끼의 부화)


Maryland Piedmont, U.S.A.
1999
George Grall

“Bursting their balloons, larvae of the spotted salamander hatch into a green broth of algae, entering the vernal pool equipped with budlike forelimbs and external gills. Voracious eaters, the larvae will consume anything they can swallow, including their hatching brothers and sisters. To dodge predators, they use the algae as cover.”

???From “The Pools of Spring,” April 1999, National Geographic magazine
