  • Development of an Eastern Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) from egg to adult form, in just 11 weeks! No, it's not an Axolotl!
    For those who keep insisting "this is an axolotl", please check out this website: en.wikipedia.o...

    Absolutely loved the video. I definitely had yours confused with axolotls, and here's why. The following is an excerpt.
    "Axolotls are very closely related to tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) and many axolotls in captivity have been interbred with tiger salamanders. So they are so closely related that they can produce viable offspring together. However, unlike axolotls, tiger salamanders mature and then live on land."

    • @studiodogy1452
      @studiodogy1452 Před 5 lety +50

      Actually an Axolotl is a species of salamander that can stay their entire life in this larval stage. It can also reproduce as a larva, but under certain conditions it can turn into an adult salamander.
      Long story short = Axolotls are awesome

      Axolotls are a type of a salamander that never grows up. So they basically stay in their child form for forever. Other salamanders like tiger salamanders look exactly like an axolotl but they change forms like what you saw in the video. One time I got a salamander thinking it was an axolotl but to only find out that it was a salamander instead xd

    @TGiFoosday Před 2 měsíci +2

    That was a great amazing video man. Very informative on how fast they grow, which I needed. While draining to clean the gunk on the bottom of our Coy fish pond a few days ago I noticed movements and things taking quick trips to the surface and gulping air before darting back to the sludge on the bottom (leaves, Coy Poop and who knows what else, some of it growing I think).
    So I got one of our fish nets and started dragging it thru the sludge. With each pass I'd scoop up at least 3 to a dozen or more tadpoles. I thought they were frogs at first because we had been hearing a lone male croaking out there every day and night the last few weeks looking for a mate. Happens every spring.
    But once I got a look at these guys in clear water I realized they were Salamander Larvae, and probably the spotted or Tiger variety we have locally in S.E. Idaho. I netted hundreds of them (pond needed cleaning bad and was a vibrant environment for them it appears, though no frog tadpoles found. probably eaten.) at varying stages of development.
    Now have only a few dozen left, some died from capture stresses and lots of small ones have been eaten and maybe some to nighttime critters sniffing around here for something to eat (home is in the country outside of city, so far, still.)
    I was hoping to get as many as possible released back into the pond in the next couple of days before they all ate each other or something else happens to them. Fascinating creatures and want to preserve as many as possible. Pond has a section the fish can't get in that is used to filter the water being pumped above it and will probably turn them loose there. We might try to raise a few also to ensure some make it to maturity.
    The ones we caught as kids would be like yours when we caught them, gills and webbing on the tail. they would remain that way as long as we kept them them in ditch water (and fed), but any we put into our small city treated faucet water would very quickly start transforming into land ready Tigers. I suspect it was the chlorine or whatever else they used that caused it to happen so fast. I've seen very large ones swimming in flooded gravel pits that still had gills and tail webbing, and I'm wondering how long do you suspect they can remain that way?
    I've read some species can have very long life spans, up to 55 years. Curiosity abounds.
    Again, thank you for a well done video, wish I'd thought to document my find from day 1too.
    I will do some documenting on any we decide to raise though.
