Bigfoot splayfoot salamander

The bigfoot splayfoot salamander (Chiropterotriton magnipes), also known as the big-footed salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from north-eastern Queretaro, at elevations of 1300 – asl.

Its natural habitats are caves and crevices in pine-oak forest. It has also been spotted in a tunnel under a church. It is threatened by habitat loss: removing the forest causes caves to dry up. The species has never been common.
