Lincoln's Mushroomtongue Salamander
Bolitoglossa lincolni
Bolitoglossa lincolni, also known as Lincoln's mushroomtongue salamander or Lincoln's salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico, where it is known from high-elevation forests at elevations of 1,700–3,000 m (5,600–9,800 ft) in several mountain ranges and plateaus. It is classified as being near-threatened by the IUCN due to its highly fragmented distribution and suffers from ongoing habitat degradation

Range & habitat
Bolitoglossa lincolni is found in Guatemala and Mexico, from the Guatemalan Plateau and Pacific versants of the Sierra de Cuilco and Sierra de los Cuchumatanes mountain ranges in western Guatemala, north to the plateau of central Chiapas. It inhabits high-elevation forests at elevations of 1,700–3,000 m (5,600–9,800 ft), where it dwells in vegetation. It can tolerate degraded habitat for spans of a few years by relying on undisturbed patches, but eventually disappears from disturbed habitats.
