Somewhere around the 15 min mark you can see our work on slimy salamanders in a mine in Arkansas. Really good stuff done by David Attenborough and the BBC for a program called Life In Cold Blood. There are a few other clips of other folks research that is relevant too. There is also really good footage of Caecillians with their young that almost anyone will find fascinating to horrific! There might have been some stuff on frogs in the tropics laying an egg to feed the one tadpole too.

McCallum Department of Environmental Studies University of Illinois at Springfield Managing Editor, Herpetological Conservation and Biology “Nothing is more priceless and worthy of preservation than the rich array of animal life with which our country has been blessed. It is a many-faceted treasure, of value to scholars, scientists, and nature lovers alike, and it forms a vital part of the heritage we all share as Americans.” -President Richard Nixon upon signing the Endangered Species Act of 1973 into law.
