A fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) on a street of Yaremche, Ivano-Frankivsk oblast of Ukraine

Summary[edit]

Description
Українська: Вогняна саламандра (Salamandra salamandra) – найбільший за розміром представник ряду хвостатих земноводних (Caudata) на території України. Ареал поширення охоплює окремі райони Закарпатської, Івано-Франківської, Чернівецької та Львівської областей. Даний вид віддає перевагу лісовим біотопам, де він зустрічається переважно в долинах річок, гірських схилах, а також може поширюватись за межі лісу, наприклад, на полонини. Веде присмерково-нічний спосіб життя.

Не зважаючи на статус «у найменшій загрозі» в Червоному списку Міжнародного союзу охорони природи, вогняна саламандра занесена до Червоної книги України, де їй присвоєно статус вразливого виду.

Особливістю даного фото є те, що на ньому зафіксовано вогняну саламандру в нетиповому для цього виду місці (асфальтована вулиця у м. Яремче, Івано-франківська обл.), та у нетиповий період доби (17:50 у третій декаді травня – коли сонце ще досить високо над горизонтом).
English: The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is one of the largest representatives of the clade Caudata, which includes tail-bearing amphibians. Its distribution range covers almost the entire territory of Europe. This species prefers forest habitats and is mainly found in river valleys, mountain slopes, and may also extend beyond the forest, for example, to mountain meadows. It leads a crepuscular-nocturnal way of life.

Despite being listed as "least concern" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, in some countries (such as Ukraine), the fire salamander is considered a rare and vulnerable species.

The particularity of this photo lies in capturing a fire salamander in an atypical location for this species (an asphalted street in Yaremche, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine) and at an atypical time of day (05:50 pm in the third decade of May – when the sun is still quite high above the horizon).
