In the rainy season, tiny salamanders migrate from burrows to ponds, but automobiles pose a big threat to their survival.
Each year when rain starts to fall in the Bay Area, a little-noticed but amazing thing happens. Newts — tiny lizard-looking amphibians — emerge from their burrows under the ground and begin to journey to their mating ponds. The slender creatures need moist air to survive the mini migration and are known to come out in droves when the weather is just right.
