Salamanders & Newts of Alabama
Salamanders & Newts of Alabama Page 1 of 2
Salamanders are small lizard-like amphibians having moist, porous scaleless skin and four limbs, often weak or rudimentary legs. Although they resemble lizards, they lack the scales, claws, and external ear openings of the reptile group. Salmanders are carnivorous and most lay their eggs in water. They are secretive, typically nocturnal and voiceless.
There are 51 species/subspecies, representing 14 genus of salamander and newts found in the State of Alabama.
