A Congress of Salamanders continued

The United Caudates of America needed a seal, so here it is. The UC's capitol is in the Appalachian Mountains- the biodiversity hot-spot for salamanders! The salamander in the middle of the second picture is Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, a hellbender. It is our largest salamander (they can get to 2 feet!). The others are various species of Ambystomatids, newts, and Plethodontids native to North America. Collective nouns for animals are great.
