Aquatic Salamander
The aquatic salamander is a type of amphibian that primarily lives in water. These creatures are known for their smooth, moist skin and elongated bodies, which help them navigate through their aquatic environments. They typically have external gills, allowing them to breathe underwater, and they can be found in various freshwater habitats like ponds, lakes, and streams.
Aquatic salamanders are part of the Caudata order, which includes all salamanders. They play an important role in their ecosystems by controlling insect populations and serving as prey for larger animals. Some common species include the Eastern Red-spotted Newt and the Mudpuppy.
