Fire Salamanders are striking amphibians known for their bright yellow or orange markings against a black background. They are primarily found in forests across Europe, where they thrive in moist environments. These salamanders are nocturnal and spend much of their time hiding under logs or rocks. Fire Salamanders are unique because they possess a toxic secretion that can deter predators. They typically breed in water, laying eggs that hatch into aquatic larvae. As they mature, they undergo metamorphosis, transitioning to a terrestrial lifestyle while retaining their distinctive coloration.
