| Ambystoma andersoni |
| Anderson's Salamander (Ambystoma andersoni) is a neotenic salamander from Laguna de Zacapú in the Mexican state of Michoacán. This salamander is a relatively recent discovery, first discovered in 1984. Ambystoma andersoni is named for James Anderson, a herpetologist with the American Museum of Natural History who did extensive fieldwork studying Ambystoma and other herp species in Mexico. Like all neotenic Ambystoma species, andersoni retains its larval features into adulthood. The mature salamander has medium-sized external gills with bright red filaments, and a prominent caudal fin. It has a large head and small limbs, as do the larvae. Its coloration is a strange pattern of black blotches on a red-brown base. The salamanders are totally aquatic and spend their whole lives in the same body of water. |
