Text
has any human ever actually seen a salamander irl btw
#they're like a cryptid to me#i've known about them since early childhood. i've known what they look like and that they live in the mountains.#i honestly really really wanted to see one as a kid#and i've been in the mountains so many times. hiking on non-touristy trails that should be okay for seeing wildlife. i've spent so much-#-time in the mountain woods and canyons and rivers and quarries#and never did it feel like a place where you could realistically see that thing#i know all the theory. i studied fucking zoology. i know it's just a normal ass amphibian#but for some reason i just. can't imagine seeing it? can't imagine it existing somewhere and just walking around like that in the woods#it feels like a mythical thing#hell it feels like i'm being gaslit by everyone saying they're common in the mountains#how is that thing common. how is that thing even there#my brain riots when i try to imagine a salander just being irl#y. you feel me#i don't know how to explain it they just feel like a fictional thing that you can't actually meet or see or touch#ramble#hello welcome to my Salamander Thing that i've never actually told anyone about lol#i have zoology autism ๐#so i read everything i could on the topic since i could read and out of all the animals i learned about these fucking things just always-#-stuck out#like i'm reading a 'polish fauna' book and everything's normal and as expected then suddenly there's a bright yellow-black lizard there-#-that doesnt fit in with anything that lives here. what do you mean this thing exists HERE and youre telling me its common#where. where is it.
