I was preparing to film a Fire Salamander (Salamandra Salamandra) - a European relative to what is known in the Americas as the Axolotl - when a Fox stole my attention and got filmed first.
It would appear that the Fox, despite its fine senses, never noticed I was standing nearby. He looked in the opposite direction and then continued on his way without taking any heed of me.
I then resumed the filming of the Fire Salamander and in the video, talk about the animal and its strikingly colorful skin which warns potential predators of its toxic excretions.
The video was filmed on my cell phone camera, which is why the quality is so crappy.
