I'm clueless. Varanus _______ __________ ? Seems most like a monitor/goanna to me.

Vicious_Fish · Jul 22, 2009

It's not a true Varanidae but is related.

Interesting how the previous guesses seemed to pick up on phylogenetic cues. I'll say earless "monitor" lizard, Lanthanotus borneensis.

Vicious_Fish · Jul 22, 2009

You are correct Cuvier.

Cuvier · Jul 22, 2009

Here it is:

Sunshinessmile · Jul 23, 2009

Caudata Ambystomatidae ....

per finding the picture from his name in the water mark...

i know i cheated...

Cuvier · Jul 23, 2009

That's just the order and family. There are some 30 different species in this group.

Vicious_Fish · Jul 23, 2009

Well I know it's a Mole Salamander larvae, lol.

Ambystoma macrodactylum???

Nope. I'll give you a hint -- this one has an especially interesting life history, even for an Ambystoma.
