schleich WILD LIFE Fire Salamander 14870

The fire salamander looks stunning with its shiny, yellow-black scales. It's easy to spot when it's perched on a patch of moss, especially since it's quite large for an amphibian. Its bright body color protects it from predators. While it may look beautiful, taking a bite isn't a good idea. Oh, a fire salamander! If you see this magnificent amphibian in the woods or along a stream, you're in luck. It usually ventures out at night. During the day, it prefers to hide in a hole in the ground or a cave. While its black and yellow pattern may be very striking, most animals keep their distance. It is poisonous. This one, however, is safe for friends to pet.
