Pictures of Gabilan Mountains slender salamanders (Batrachoseps gavilanensis) and associated habitat observed in Monterey County, California. This salamander was observed about 100 meters from the ocean. More discussion on this salamander, and salt tolerance in salamanders in general can be found at my blog post "salamander by the sea."
