Bolitoglossa aurae, commonly knownasAura’s golden salamander, is a lungless salamander found in the rainforests of Cordillera de TalamancainCosta Rica. This species is part of the Bolitoglossa genus, commonly known as mushroom-tongued salamanders.[2][1]
Bolitoglossa aurae has a light yellow color with a dark brown dorsal stripe running down the head through the body and a pair of thin dark brown lateral stripes running from behind the eyes to the tail. The species has long prehensile tails relative to other mushroom-tongued salamanders. Its tail is 57.9% of its total length.[3]
Aura’s golden salamander is believed to be an endemic species of Costa Rica but its range is not currently known. The mid-elevation slopes of northeastern Cordillera de Talamanca are the only known environment inhabited by Bolitoglossa aurae. Aura’s golden salamander inhabits cloud forests.[1]
Bolitoglossa auraeisnocturnal and burrows during the day.[4]
