This is Yuki’s favorite animal!
All juvenile salamanders look like this, however the uparupa will stay like this into maturity and never loose it’s gills.

If you would like to buy one please contact me, and I will get one for you (as I know people that know people).
Here is a picture of several different kinds:
Here is a picture of some up close:
And they smile!
