In some areas of the world, the mudfish is on the endangered species list. This is a result of diminishing wetlands and swamps, which are the animalâs natural habitat. Most of the endangered mudfish are located in New Zealand and Australia, but they can also be found in other parts of the world.
Mudpuppies (Necturus maculosus) and (larval) Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) are the two types of salamanders found in South Dakota that can be easily confused and misidentified (Figs. 1 and 2). Mudpuppies are permanently aquatic salamanders therefore they have gills, and they reside in permanent bodies of water. Tiger Salamanders, on the other hand, are usually found in water or on land (in moist areas), depending on their life stage.
