As the tadpole develops, they BURST out through the skin!
Aliens style 😉

Behold! A hatchling blue-spotted #salamander (<24 hrs hatched).
In anticipation of #fieldwork with later stage #ambystoma larvae, here's a quick #herpetology quiz:
See those straight things sticking out of its head and downward. What do you think they are? Poll is👇
