Hello…Where am I?

Maybe if I’m real still they’ll forget about me.

I thought I’d never get away!

This salamander is an Eastern Red Spotted Newt (Red Eft) and can be found throughout the eastern United States.

This is one of more than 30 species of salamanders found in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park which, by the way, is also known as The Salamander Capital of the World.
