Project Noah Nature School
Taricha granulosa
The terrestial stage (or eft) of the Rough Skinned Newt. Rough and grainy on top, pretty orange underneath, with those pretty silvery irises.
Dense, rainy forests, streams, and pools.
Please do not eat the newts! They're poisonous (not venomous). What an amazing critter.

Excellent Mitch! Looking forward to seeing your Oregon critters on Noah.
