Types of Salamanders

Salamanders are the secret majority of the forest: in some eastern woods their combined weight outweighs all the birds and mammals put together, yet they spend their lives hidden under logs and leaf litter. Many breathe entirely through their skin, having no lungs at all. Here are the salamanders in the Huck field guide.
