The Salamanders are a group of lizard-like amphibians. Like all amphibians, his skin is permeable to water and acts as a respiratory membrane. Consequently, Salamander are generally found in moist habitats, near water. Some species, like this Fire Salamander, are capable of exuding a toxic secretion through their skin, which acts as a deterrant to predators. He follows a carnivorous diet, eating anything he can catch and swallow. Like frogs, he begins life as a tadpole, but as he attains his adult form, he retains his tail. If body parts are lost, he is capable of regenerating new ones.
