Welcome to the World of Salamanders

The Lifecycle of Salamanders 🌿

Salamanders are a group of amphibians that include over 500 species. Their fascinating lifecycle begins as eggs laid in water or moist environments. This is the beginning of a transformative journey—from tadpoles to mature salamanders.

After hatching, young salamanders often spend several months as aquatic larvae, where they might sport gills and fin-like tails. As they mature, they undergo metamorphosis, losing their gills and transitioning into terrestrial or semi-aquatic adults.
