Salamander
Salamanders are amphibians
and are related to frogs and toads, but
they do not make themselves known
with loud calling like other
amphibians. Because of their secretive
nature and nocturnal lifestyle,
salamanders do not easily disclose
their location. They love dark, wet
places, often in deep woods, which is
one reason why finding one of these
slippery critters can be a real
challenge.
