The ‘yellow spotted salamander’, also known as the ‘Turkish salamander’, which is in danger of extinction, was seen in the Kozluk district of Batman, Turkey. Veysi Adanır, who was taking a walk in the Alıçlı village of Kozluk at night, noticed that there was a kind of reptile on the way. “While I was walking on the road, I noticed that there was a kind of reptile that was moving. Since I knew it was a harmless species, I took it in my hand, petted it a little bit, and then released it back into the wild,” said Adanır.
A full moon rising over Lake Van in the Ahlat district of Türkiye’s Bitlis province created a breathtaking spectacle as it reflected off the calm waters. Locals and visitors gathered along the lakeshore to witness and photograph the scene, with many describing it as an unforgettable moment.
Nature photographer Şahin Şerefoğlu, who captured the moonrise at Ahlat Pier, said, “We’re in one of the most beautiful places to watch the full moon. We invite all nature lovers to experience this view.”
Travelers from other regions, including Şanlıurfa, also came to enjoy the view, turning the lakeside into a popular spot for moon gazing and photography.
