manning park tadpoles?

[norman]

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone knows what these were....About 5 years ago I went up into the mountains in Manning park (sp?) and in the streams there were little things that looked like tadpoles but they had suction cups on the bottom of them. I managed to catch a few but never got any pics of them. Its probably something really common Ive just never heard of it or seen them anywhere else.Anyways....Somebody tell me what the deal is with these things!
thanks,
pete

really? newts/salamander tadpoles all have suction cups? why didnt i notice this anywhere but up in manning park?

Maybe tailed frogs? They have suction cups i believe, so they can cling to rocks and such. I dont think they would live there but you never know. any pics?

[norman]

no but i am hoping to go back up there and find them sometime...but dont hold your breath...might be a few years.

alright. Where exactly is it? I may have to go there.
