Fire Salamander (Salamandra salamandra) - Striking Amphibian with Orange-Black Pattern #31983 (License: Personal Use)

This image features a fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra), a terrestrial amphibian native to moist forests and mountainous regions across Europe. Its vivid orange and black mottled skin serves as aposematic coloration, signaling toxicity from skin glands that secrete samandarin alkaloids. The animal’s robust body, short limbs, and long tapering tail are clearly visible against the neutral background.
