Demand is high for #axolotls thanks to #Minecraft. But this isn't the first time popular media has influenced the pet trade, and such trends can be a cause for conservation concern. https://t.co/NgMUUnwldm #ExoticPets

The Jeypore ground gecko was first described in 1877 and previously considered extinct. It was rediscovered in 2010 in the Eastern Ghats of India, but the #nocturnal lizard is Endangered due to severe threats to its habitat. #Midnights 5/

The Japanese giant salamander is one of three recognized giant salamander species (though new research suggests the Chinese giant salamander may be divided into multiple species). This #nocturnal amphibian hunts invertebrates, frogs and fish at night. #Midnights 3/

[Global Center for Species Survival @ProtectSpecies]

No one asked us, but we're sharing amazing #nocturnal species that have nothing to do with #TaylorSwift or #Midnights. Time to learn! 1/

We've talked about vernal pools before. These small, shallow, seasonal bodies of water are vital to the survival of some amphibians, including the marbled #salamander. #WetlandsWednesday 5/
