Desmognathus welteri
Powell Co., Kentucky Off to one side of the clear, gravel-bottomed creek was a low seep, choked with mud and leaves. It looked like a good spot for a Mud Salamander, and when I poked through it, I came up with a welteri instead. They are a sturdy desmognathid, putting me in mind of the related Blackbellied Salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculata). Hard to catch, too!
