  • Native to the United States and Canada, spotted salamanders spend almost their entire lives hidden under rocks or logs. Watch as they grow from tiny eggs into 7-inch beasts!

    Correction: at 2:19 the footage being displayed is of a fire salamander (genus Salamandra), not a spotted salamander (genus Ambystoma) which it is erroneously labelled as.
    Fire salamanders are native to the old world and are more closely related to new world newts than to new world salamanders like the spotted.
    Although with both sharing a similar color scheme I understand the confusion
    Edit: same incorrect labelling at 3:02 and 3:12 as well

    *This brought back great 👍 childhood memories for me. In the summer, we would catch the black and yellow-spotted salamanders to keep as pets over the summer and late summer. My siblings and I would keep 3 or 4 salamanders, (along with 3 or 4 frogs and 3 or 4 toads) in a HUGE aquarium that we made into a moist terrarium with live plants and moss and fed them several times a day with bugs 🐜🐞🦗🪰🐛 and worms 🪱 we would catch ourselves. In mid to late August before school started again, we would release them back into the wild where we caught them, so they would have plenty of time to get ready for their winter hibernation. We did this for many years, starting in grade school and all through junior high school. (I am the oldest, and I have 4 siblings.) We also kept and released skinks and garter snakes every year in 2 other aquariums-turned-terrariams that we adapted to their particular habitat needs.*

    About 2-3 klm from my house there is a place that every time I go around October I see one spotted salamander (I go for mushrooms)
    I told to my friend that I suspect it's the same salamander and he laugh
    Every time, in the exact same location in the forest
    So every time I take her in my hand, pet her for a few minutes and leave her ,there is a myth that here in Greece that is a big blessing to touch a salamander, brings luck, and they are extremely rare here
    Beautiful creatures, and so calm and gentile, truly amazing

      Just FYI but they aren't Axolotls. It's a related species of salamander.
