Hi all. I want to introduce you this little friends.

They are Pyrenean Brook Salamander (Calotriton asper), a specie endemic of the Pyrenees mountains.

This specie is found at altitudes ranging from 700 to 2,500 metres (2,300 to 8,200 ft), in the Pyrenees and surrounding mountains. It is a mostly aquatic species usually frequenting slow-moving streams and shallow mountain lakes. It favours water below 15°C with scarce vegetation on rocky or pebbly bottoms.

I took this pictures in Zuriza Valley (Huesca, Spain), in a mountaineering hike to a nearby summit. I show the pictures of this little animals, and the stream where I found them.
