The mudpuppy jaw is considered metaautostyly, like most amphibians, meaning the jaw is more stable and that the salamander has a dentary. [15] This affects their diet by limiting the flexibility of the jaw to take in larger prey. The mudpuppy has few predators which may include fish, crayfish, turtles, and water snakes. Fishermen also ...
Necturus occur in surface waters, preferentially with clear water and rocky substrates without silt. N. maculosus live in lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks. [15] [16] They like shallow waters with low temperatures from autumn to early spring. [15] They are most active in cold temperatures, specifically between 9.1 and 20.2 degrees Celsius.
The family Proteidae is a group of aquatic salamanders found today in the Balkan Peninsula and North America. The range of the genus Necturus (commonly known as waterdogs or mudpuppies) runs from southern central Canada, through the midwestern United States, east to North Carolina and south to Georgia and Mississippi.

[2] Dell Creek is a warm water sport fishery for the lower 1.5 miles and a Class II [3] trout stream for the upper 10.5 miles of its length. The creek ...
The Dells were made famous in 1886 by the photographer H. H. Bennett, who took the first stop-action photo of his son jumping onto Stand Rock. [5] The Kilbourn Dam, completed in 1909, raised the water level of the Upper Dells by about 17 feet (5.2 m), flooding some of the caves and rock formations in Bennett's photographs. [6] [7]
Most taxonomic authorities currently consider this salamander to be a subspecies of the common mudpuppy (N. maculosus): N. maculosus louisianensis, or the Red River mudpuppy. The Red River waterdog was proposed as a separate species from the common mudpuppy by Collins in 1991, [ 1 ] but supporting data was lacking.
The fragrant water-lily, common duckweed, and contail are all native species to Castle Rock Lake and provided a substantial amount of habitat for the many fish that populate the lake. [12] Eurasian water-milfoil is an invasive species to Castle Rock Lake and it is being monitored by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Petenwell ...
