- decker12, on 07/09/2009, -1/+9Am I being too much of a *****' grammar nazi if I point out it should actually read "New Salamander Discovered Near Busy Georgia Road?"
- TobiasParker, on 07/09/2009, -2/+8In before "How long until *MAN* drives it extinct."
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5That is certainly a more probable explanation than saying a deity magically placed it there.

Also entirely possible. - ApokalypseNow, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6It is entirely possible that we just haven't observed this species before, but they might be a result of a recent evolutionary branching as well. Research is ongoing.
- jigulous, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5These comments suck.
- ghatid, on 07/09/2009, -0/+4@DeFex these guys look like the ones I used to find:)
I like your comment because it reminded me bout when I was small, my sisters and I would always catch these frogs with a red marking on the inside of their leg. Later, when I grew up, I found out that these frogs were the "red legged frog" that environmentalists (at the time) were making a lot of noise about. This tells us that either/or both:
1. Red Legged Frogs weren't that rare
2. Maybe they're rare because they're so easy to catch that kids with buckets could catch them. - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -1/+5I used to have a pet salamander, I called him "Tiny" because he was my newt.

- ghatid, on 07/09/2009, -0/+4It took them a few more years to fully discover it.
- dinglebutt, on 07/09/2009, -1/+3Char Char!
- FTWmovin2canada, on 07/09/2009, -1/+3"The initial discovery came in spring 2007..."
- JCougar, on 07/09/2009, -2/+3Cool and all, but a hellbender could kick its ass.
- zip000, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Awful pun. lol.
- silverchrysalis, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1no. no you aren't.
- DextramPennae, on 07/09/2009, -1/+2Now you'll never be able to get rid of the road since it is part of an endangered specie's habitat.
- URnotheonly1, on 07/09/2009, -1/+2They have always been there even with the road
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Not for long, since Georgia is one of the nation's leaders in sprawl
- inactive, on 07/10/2009, -0/+0Stimulus money!
- ShadySpace, on 07/09/2009, -2/+2Looks like a sluggo.

- notman, on 07/09/2009, -1/+1But your mom swallows
- BubbaInAtl, on 07/09/2009, -1/+1Congrads on the find. Being a UGA alumni, I've been on many a salamander hunt while in grad school. I'm glad that part of Georgia is still rich in biodiversity.
- chudroy, on 07/09/2009, -1/+0In other words you had nothing to contribute yourself so you go and insult everybody else. do you have nothing else better to do?
- kojiflak, on 07/09/2009, -2/+1Now ain't that the urse-pal-urp.
- fluidfoundation, on 07/09/2009, -5/+3That's dinner, pa!
- joculator, on 07/09/2009, -4/+2OM NOM NOM!
- floort, on 07/09/2009, -11/+5I know, it just 'evolved' there. Otherwise, surely we would have seen it before.
- Kriegg, on 07/09/2009, -9/+2Now watch all the enviromental nutcases out there start demanding that we wall off the area and protect the salmender
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -13/+1Just 1 Question -
