As promised yesterday, what my grandson found in a pond by the Clackamas River. He released it back into the pond, of course...

Could this be a newt?? Nice capture.
nice critter & capture
Salamander VS Newt. Is there much of a difference?
Newts are a subgroup of salamanders, so all newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts. Since I don't know what kind this is, I played it safe & just called it a salamander...
There seems to be a newt - because of the wider (high) tail. So they are better able to swim in the water (water displacement). Super capture!!
Beautiful picture!!!
I think most fishermen would call that bass bait. 8^) Nice shot! I found an octopus in a tidal pool once.
fantastic !
Superb capture!!!
Very cool
Fantastic shot of this great find! I haven't found anything this cool in the water around here!
Great shot! When I was growing up in Lyle, Washington, we had a pond full of these, as well as frogs. We always called these "mudguppies," but, upon Googling it, I see that the proper term is "mudpuppies" or "mud puppies." Oh well, either way, they were salamanders. Your photo brings back memories. :) Thanks for posting!
Excellent
How pretty! It looks like it's made of glass. What a find!
Klasse capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very glossy, when out of the watery environment and almost translucent looking - and I find them very similar in shape, to our little Skinks and Geckos ... a very precious find and pic, BB
How exciting!
If that is Eligh's hand then that is a big salamander and a great photo!
