![Spotted Salamander Crossing thumbnail image](/common/uploads/teachers/assets/images/nri/20210226/teachers/B678E577-9AC6-7241-E97D2AF280C84690/B678E577-9AC6-7241-E97D2AF280C84690.jpg?maxwidth=200&quality=90)
The spotted salamander is indigenous to the areas surrounding the Natchez Trace Parkway. When the salamanders breed, they usually return to the same vernal pond from which they hatched. Unfortunately for some populations, this presents a hazard as the Natchez Trace Parkway is in between their forest habitat and the vernal breeding ponds.
