California Tiger Salamander Silk
This rare and exquisite salamander is impressively adapted to both aquatic and terrestrial life. Born underwater in vernal ponds, the young, larval tiger salamander begins life with gills and fins before they disappear in metamorphosis. With newly formed lungs, the adult salamander is ready to leave the nursery of the pond to find grasslands in higher places. These quiet, introverted amphibians spend most of their lives underground, where they hunt small invertebrates. Their shyness does not carry through to their coloration, however, as visibile in their delightful golden yellow spots and speckles. Their big eyes and slow movements give them a calm and sensual presence. You will be lucky to ever see one in your life, as habitat loss and bullfrog predation has rendered this beautiful species as threatened and endangered in California. This 20"x70" textile is printed on 100% silk chiffon and has a delicate hand-rolled hem.
