schleich WILD LIFE Fire Salamander 14870

The fire salamander looks beautiful with its black-yellow colored, shiny scales. You can easily spot it sitting on a patch of moss, especially since it is quite large for an amphibian species. Its bright body color protects it from predators. He may look nice, but taking a bite from him is not a good idea. Oh, a fire salamander! If you see this beautiful amphibian species in the forest or along a stream, consider yourself lucky. He usually goes out at night. During the day he prefers to hide in a hole in the ground or in a cave. Its black-yellow pattern may be very striking, but most animals stay at a distance. It is poisonous. However, this specimen can safely be petted by friends.
