S. salamandra alfredschmidti
There is a small location in Spain where Salamandra salamandra shows color polymorphism. Here we can find a whole range of morphs, going from whole black (as the one on the pic) to whole yellow (coming soon :3) with brownish forms in between.
Unfortunately, as soon as the new subspecies was announced, illegal catchings were performed to satisfy the demand for the illegal pet trade *. Preventing this is a must. This tiny and irreverent newt population must be protected, so we can go there in future generations and still see them!
