GREETING CARD:
“Barton Springs Salamander (Eurycea sosorum)” is part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.
SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Brittany A. Dobbins, Department of Biology, Texas State University
"The scientific name, Eurycea sosorum, was given to the Barton Springs Salamander in honor of the Austinites that initiated the Save Our Springs (SOS) ordinance, to protect the Edwards Aquifer that feeds Barton Springs. These salamanders spend their entire lives in the water, sporting external gills and a broad tail fin. They are covered in a cosmic array of mottling which is unique to each individual, like a fingerprint. Females lay about 20 eggs at a time, each one is carefully stuck onto a rock or vegetation. Babies hatch before they have fully developed hind limbs and must fend for themselves as there is no parental care after the eggs are laid. Overpumping of the aquifer and water pollution are the greatest threat to this beautiful species."
