Fire salamanders are distributed in alpine forests in central and southern Europe, because cool and humid habitats can be found in cool forests. Because they like to hide in the cracks of dead wood, when dead wood is used to make a fire, they often escape unexpectedly, as if they were born from the flame, hence the name. Fire salamanders, like most amphibians, are Nocturnal Animals. They come out at night and usually prey on their prey like earthworms after rain. They mate on land, but female salamanders give birth to young salamanders in ponds and streams. Due to habitat loss and other threats, the total number of salamanders is declining.
loach
Mudpuppy, also known as mud puppy, is named because it can bark like a puppy. Mud salamander is the largest kind of salamander, and its adult body length is about 20 ~ 60 cm. The body color is gray or brown, with sparse light black spots, red and yellow tail fin, flat head and trunk, flat tail side, thick and short legs and four toes. Mud salamanders are the easiest to identify because they have three pairs of bright red and dense outer gills, which are preserved for life. They are distributed in eastern North America and inhabit the bottom of lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. They never leave the water and feed on the eggs of small animals or other aquatic animals.
Blunt-mouthed salamander
The most striking feature of spotted blunt salamander is bright yellow spots, which are mostly hidden in dark and humid places. They are distributed in southeastern Canada, the eastern United States and the midwest. It is found that the population of spotted salamander is generally stable, but it is very sensitive to ecological changes. The acidity of water in some habitats has increased, and the loss of habitats and pet trade have led to a decrease in the number of spotted blunt-mouthed salamanders.
Emperor salamander
The royal salamander is an endemic species in Iran, belonging to a relatively rare small salamander. Its body pattern is the most special, with orange limbs, abdomen and ridgeline on the background of black and white flowers, which is very attractive, and its price is also a relatively high salamander variety in the pet trade. The day trading of giant salamanders on the Internet has led to a decline rate of 80%. At the same time, the number in the wild has dropped sharply, making artificial reproduction difficult. It needs a temperature below 23 degrees Celsius to survive, so I'm afraid it may become extinct. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the giant salamander as an endangered species.
Red salamander
Red salamander is a kind of brick-red terrestrial North American salamander, which lives in woodlands in eastern North America. Red salamanders hatch and breed in water, but spend their infancy on land. Its bright orange or red pattern warns predators that their skin is toxic, so that when they look for food, they will stay away from natural enemies.
salamander
The main food of Mexican salamanders: worms, insects or small fish. Mexican blunt-mouthed salamander has the ability to regenerate and break the body. Average life span: 10 ~ 15 years. It is only distributed in a lake in Mexico, belonging to Amphibia, Anura, Blumeatus. Mexican salamander is a famous "larval mature" species among amphibians (from birth to sexual maturity until spawning, it is in larval form).
Oriental salamander
Oriental salamander (English name: Chinese fire-belliednewt) is a salamander, which contains tetrodotoxin and is forbidden to eat and feed. The salamander is small, the cloaca hole is protruding and the hole is long. It can be seen that there are obvious villous processes in the male salamander. The body is large, the abdomen is enlarged, the cloaca hole is flat, the hole fissure is short, and there is no protrusion on the inner side of the female salamander. This species is distributed in central and eastern China.
Red-backed lung salamander
The red-backed lung-free salamander is named after the red stripes on its back. They only live on land, far away from ponds and streams, and do not go through the stage of aquatic larvae. The strangest thing is that they have no lungs and breathe on the skin and the inner wall of the mouth. When threatened, cut off your tail to escape from the enemy.
Blue-tailed salamander
The blue-tailed salamander has a bright orange belly and a blue tail.
The name of this newt comes from its green marble stripes and black stripes. With a body length of 120 ~ 160 mm, it is a large salamander. They are distributed in Spain, Portugal and France and live near woodlands, ponds or other water sources.
