Yes . Is this photo real though ? ? Because that would be magical You get it guys ? magical <| sep |> From what I read , the movie had cultural advisers to ensure it was accurate and sensitive . I think it paid off too , I found myself really loving that culture , and respecting their achievements as voyagers . <| sep |> What ' s cool is the juvenile form of most salamanders have external gills like this . Also , many species of salamanders will keep their external gills into adulthood in certain situations . When I was a kid there was a pond down the street that had pacific newtsthe brown ones with orange bellies but one year they all disappeared and were replaced by these greenish brown salamanders with external gills . As a herpetology geek I ' ve always wondered if the Pacific newts changed for some reason or if a new species was introduced and drove the others out . Maybe next time I ' m home I ' ll catch one and take it to the UW to find out .
