Image of Eastern lesser siren

Description:

Larry Ditto and I seined about a dozen amphibians we did not recognize from a small stock tank on a private ranch in Kenedy Co. We tried to photograph them on land, but they were slippery and hard to hold. We got a few shots on wet grass, then released them back into the tank. We tentatively identified them as Rio Grande Lesser Sirens after looking through some field guides. THIS AREA IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IS BEHIND LOCKED GATES.
