:"Its head was raised about eight inches above the surface and it had this black, undulating body. It was swimming like a snake, but with its head held up.

If this is accurate then it doesn't swim like any aquatic or semiaquatic salamander I've ever seen. This would be doubly true
if the animal was aquatic and either breathed through its skin or gills. Otherwise finding a huge new species would be cool.
