おもしろい事実

Female Dusky Salamanders carefully guard their clutch of eggs for many weeks until they hatch.

Some Dusky Salamanders can live in very cold mountain streams, even under sheets of ice!

Their eyes are fixed in place, meaning they must move their whole head to look around!

Unlike most salamanders, the larvae of some Dusky species stay entirely in the water.

特殊能力

能力

Skin Breathers

Dusky Salamanders can breathe through their moist skin and mouth lining because they lack lungs as adults, helping them absorb oxygen.

能力

Tail Escape

Dusky Salamanders can drop their tail if a predator grabs it, allowing them to escape danger and grow a new one later.

能力

Stream Swimmers

Dusky Salamanders have a keeled, flattened tail that helps them powerfully propel themselves through fast-moving water.

能力

Amphibious Grip

Dusky Salamanders have strong, flexible toes that help them climb and cling to slippery rocks and stream banks.
