The Blotched tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum melanostictum) is a species of Mole salamander. Tiger salamanders are large, with a typical length of 6–8 in (150–200 mm). They can reach up to 14 in (36 cm) in length, particularly neotenic individuals. Adults are usually blotchy with grey, green, or black, and have large, lidded eyes.
The axolotl (/ ˈ æ k s ə l ɒ t əl / ⓘ; from Classical Nahuatl: āxōlōtl [aːˈʃoːloːtɬ] ⓘ) (Ambystoma mexicanum) [3] is a paedomorphic salamander closely related to the tiger salamander. [3] [4] [5] It is unusual among amphibians in that it reaches adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of taking to the land, adults ...
These salamanders are mostly terrestrial and eat invertebrates, although some species are known to eat smaller salamanders. They can be found throughout the US and some areas of Canada in damp forests or plains. This family contains some of the largest terrestrial salamanders in the world, the tiger salamander and the coastal giant salamander ...
The axolotl is also a relative of the tiger salamander. [33] [34] Axolotls live in a paedomorphic state, retaining most characteristics of their larval stage for their entire lifespans. While they never metamorphose under natural conditions, metamorphosis can be induced in them, resulting in a form very similar to the plateau tiger salamander.
