1010. Salamanders

Salamanders are a group of lizard-like amphibians.  They have blunt snouts, slender bodies, soft skin, tails, and short limbs which are set at right angles to their bodies.  They rarely have more than eight front toes.  You can see a wide range of these amphibians in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a.k.a. the “Salamander Capital of the World.”  Go for a hike and check under logs and rocks as for all 30 species that live here.  They love moist habitats.
