Field Notes

Habitat:

Under large rock

Notes:

Here's an article form Wiki: "Like other genus Taricha members, the glands in the skin of Taricha torosa secrete the potent neurotoxin tetrodotoxin, which is hundreds of times more toxic than cyanide. This is the same toxin found in pufferfish and harlequin frogs." Yikes!
