Description
The Red Hills Salamander, Phaeognathus hubrichti, is an endemic to several counties of Alabama. The species was not described until 1960. Because it lives below the ground in burrows, it had been elusive to biologists. It is a large salamander and can attain lengths of roughly 10 inches (~25 cm). The Red Hills Salamander is a federally listed endangered species and is listed by the IUCN as "EN" or endangered. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of the remaining habitat for the salamander is owned or leased by paper companies. This species was photographed in Alabama (2010).
