what is this?
« on: April 01, 2013, 12:48:05 PM »
My brother and I were scouting Kapowsin for spring bear when we saw this on an old skidder road  :o it looks like the skeleton of a newt or salamander, but what is the blob?

No they are salamanders that I pictured, but it was only a guess as to what the blob was in the original post.

"Several salamanders are well into their breeding cycle at this point. The large baseball sized jelly globs of the Northwestern Salamander have been deposited on stems in creeks and lakes for almost a month now. So have the smaller egg masses of the Long-toed salamanders."

I have no idea why anyone would have this much info on salamanders.  :chuckle: :chuckle:

No, I just didn't read the original post that said this was seen while bear hunting. Now I understand. But I'm still not sure why it's in the bear hunting section.  :chuckle:

And no, I have no idea what it is. But I do agree it likely has something to do with Bigfoot.

We found this BLOB in the middle of a skidder road.  The critter, which now is only a very well preserved skeleton, seemed to have been absorbed by the BLOB.  Since we were scouting for bear and it's in the Kapowsin unit I just thought I'd post it here.  If I had posted it under MISC and this BLOB absorbs a Kapowsin unit spring bear permit holder this season - well, I couldn't forgive myself. :bash:
