In the second spotlight episode we take a look at the elusive spotted salamander. While it may look average (for a salamander), this creature has an exceptionally unique relationship with its environment that makes it unlike anything else.

Introducing a new series of the Wild Minds Podcast: Spotlight! As we continue to produce our regular content, we will also be creating shorter, more focused episodes on neat animals, plants, and other parts of nature. Our first Spotlight is on the mighty mason bee; a small and often overlooked insect that is a bigger part of our days than we might realize.
