The Cave Salamander (Eurycea lucifuga) is a small, slender amphibian found primarily in the eastern United States. It typically inhabits moist, dark environments such as caves and underground streams. This species is known for its bright orange or yellow coloration, which helps it blend into its natural habitat. Cave salamanders are primarily nocturnal and feed on small invertebrates like insects and worms. They have adapted to life in the dark, possessing well-developed senses of smell and touch. Their unique habitat makes them sensitive to environmental changes, highlighting the importance of cave conservation efforts.
