Some of us love rain!
We red efts hide in damp crevices until it rains, then we can safely come out to forage for food. We're only out of water for two years - then we return to the ponds to mate and lay eggs for the next generation.
Besides raindrops, this little salamander was covered with tiny bits of white lichen. He must have been walking in it. The skin itself is smooth, moist, and pure orange, with those remarkable little spots.
