Hundreds of Salamanders Gather on Homeowner’s Doorstep in St. Louis
The Missouri Department of Conservation posted this picture of the gathering–which is called a “congress of salamanders”–to their Facebook page and had this to say about it:
“Our St. Louis office got a call last week from a homeowner who had this pile of ringed salamanders trapped in an outside stairway. In autumn they travel by night to fishless woodland ponds where they may congregate by the hundreds for breeding. The salamanders were moved to a nearby fishless pond so they could continue…. If you see activity like this, let us know so we can help wildlife get back on the right road.”
