Coming across salamanders in the woods never fails to delight me. This mug features:
a yellow spotted salamander: Fun fact! they are currently the only known vertebrate to host photosynthetic algae within their cells (specifically in female oviducts so the algae can grow in the eggs she lays, increasing oxygen)
an eastern newt: Fun fact! eastern newts start their lives in freshwater then lose their gills and live on land as a bright orange “eft” (pictured on this cup) for 2-5 years before returning to the water for the rest of their lives.
Dishwasher and microwave safe.
