TRACHET, JOHN 1991 Ambystoma tigrinum Tiger Salamander Dorritter Ranch, 3/4 mile downstream of confluence of the Apache & Mora Rivers, Mora Co., New Mexico. Elevation 680 ft. June 28 Right after it quit raining, about 22:15, I got up to urinate. Stepping across the dirt road behind my tent was an Ambystoma, initially looking more like a fish flopping around than a salamander. It measured 9.4 cm SV length. Striking was its almost total lack of pattern. The animal was entirely greyish-olive (in my floodlight beam) and had only the faintest mottling, not what I expected from a Tiger Salamander.
