Lizard.
Found in wet top soil.
Yes samizv is correct on distribution. http://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?...
Probably a tiger salamander, since it was found on alberta. I've been finding them a lot in Calgary recently.
It's actually not a lizard. Lizards are reptiles. This is an amphibian and called a salamander. Could be a tiger but doesnt look exactly like one
