Salamander Fossil Confuses Evolutionists

Salamanders are amphibians that looks somewhat like lizards, and many types are found in North America. They may bite when they feel threatened but have no venom. Some have secretions in their skin that may make someone sick, so refrain from licking them.

Like humans, amphibians, birds, and many other critters, they are classified as tetrapods. That simply means vertebrates that have two pairs of limbs. Salamanders are also cold-blooded, which means the environment controls their temperature, not from an internal mechanism. A fossil was found in a cold place.

Down Argentina way, a fossil of a large tetrapod that resembles a salamander was discovered in the cold of Gondwana. The scientists wonder how a cold-blooded critter could have survived up there, and they are having some arguments. Still protecting deep time, though.

Also, other organisms were found nearby, so a shallow lake was postulated — with no evidence. When all the facts are considered (something evolutionists are loathe to do), the best explanation is that the organisms were deposited by the action of the Genesis Flood.

A recent discovery of a crocodile-size tetrapod (four-legged animal) in high latitudes has some conventional scientists baffled. How could cold-blooded animals survive in cold-temperature regions? And, according to the evolutionary story, these salamander-like animals lived in the waning moments of an Ice Age, making the cold even more extreme. Previously, animals like this were found only in warm climates. What changed their story?
