libutron:Narrow-Striped Dwarf SirenDwarf sirens are amazing creatures. They are eel-like aquatic salamanders that lack rear legs and retain external gills throughout life. In general, dwarf sirens are only found in the southeastern United State (they are endemics), and belong to the genus Pseudobranchus (Caudata - Sirenidae)Dwarf sirens can reach an adult size of 12-19 cm, and can be distinguished because they only have three toes on each of their two feet (front).There are two species of dwarf sirens recognized, the Northern Dwarf Siren (Pseudobranchus striatus), and the southern Dwarf Siren (Pseudobranchus axanthus), each with some subspecies. Specimen shown belong to subspecies Pseudobranchus axanthus axanthus, commonly named Narrow-Striped Dwarf Siren, found in Peninsular Florida, US.Reference: [1]Photo credit: ©Pierson HillLocality: Lake Co, Florida, US -- source link
