Neuse River Waterdog

From USFWS Southeast Region:




Our next #atriskspecies is the Neuse River waterdog. These aquatic salamanders are sensitive to low oxygen and polluted waters, making them indicators of healthy water. The cold doesn’t bother them though. Near-freezing water temperatures stimulate them to find mates. (Photo: Female Neuse River waterdog, USFWS)
