are salamanders dangerous
1 Tiger salamanders secret a slimy substance which is poisonous to other animals.  Fish, toads, and other aquatic animals eat up tiger salamander larvae and thus they produce the poisonous mucus to protect themselves. A newt is a salamander but a salamander may not be a newt. This is because the word salamader refers to the entire group of a type of amphibians that have tails as an adult and since the newt has this characteristic, it comes under the salamander group. The siren also comes under this group. There are approximately 350 species of salamanders. Tiger salamanders feed on worms, little mice, insects, other smaller amphibians like tadpoles, small snails, etc. Tiger salamanders are used to eating once in every 2-3days at least. Calcium and vitamins are a must in their diets. Adult spotted salamanders are 15-25 cm in total length, and females tend to be larger than males. Compared to other salamanders, the body is stout with a broadly rounded snout. The sides of the head are often swollen at the back of the jaw. The legs are large and strong with four to five toes. (Petranka, 1998) When they leave their ponds, spotted salamanders are black, dark brown, or dark grey on their backs, and the belly of these salamanders is a pale greyish-blue. The common name comes from two rows of yellow or orange spots which run from the head to the end of the tail. Predators like the skunks, turtles, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, opposums and snakes prey on the salamanders. Their eggs and larvae are also eaten by fish, crayfish, turtles, birds and frogs. However, their worst enemy are humans. Humans pollute and destroy their habitats. People get confused because they look almost the same. Skinks are lizards while salamanders are amphibians. If you take a closer look at the skink, you will notice they have visible scales and dry skin. The salamander do not have scales and they are often wet and slimy. Adult spotted salamanders live in forests, near ponds where they can lay their eggs. They are not often seen, because they spend most of their time hiding in dead leaves, under logs, or in tunnels under ground. Spotted salamanders need to lay their eggs in freshwater ponds that don't have fish in them. 1 Tail – Tiger salamander has a long and thick tail, which are toxic.
