Long shot, taken with a cheap camera in poor light....that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Northern Grotto Salamander (Eurycea nerea)Observer
tonygDescription
So Friday night before this cave trip I broke my good camera. Went out and bought a cheaper one- you can see the results ...
but getting to see grotto salamanders was great! Saw two adults, one or two (may have been the same individual twice) large larva, and four tiny larva.
The cave is Tumbling Creek Cave (formerly Bear Cave) owned and protected by Ozark Underground Lab.

tonygDescription
Roadkilled east side of I-24 south of mile marker 21.
It has been years (over 20 at least) since I have seen a gray fox in this area. As a kid they were rather common, but coyotes and red fox were very uncommon. Glad to know there are still some around, or they are coming back. It's a shame this guy got hit.
