A recently metamorphosed tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), viewed from two different sides of its body. The right front limb of this animal has developed normally (top photo), but there is a problem with the left front limb (bottom photo). The left front limb may have been eaten by a predator (such as an insect or another salamander), while this salamander was a larva, and appears to be in the process of regenerating. |
