Description: Includes photographs, basic distribution, and facts.
Salamanders (Order Caudata) are a diverse group of amphibians. They can be found in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, though water is essential for survival. Most salamanders are nocturnal and can be found under rocks and fallen trees. North Carolina has an amazing abundance of salamanders because of its diverse geography from mountains to coastal swamps. Some species are indigenous to only North Carolina and thus need to be conserved. One such family of salamanders is the Plethodontidae family. This family constitutes more than 90% of salamanders and the southeast U.S. has more plethodontids than anywhere else in the world!
