I have a large population of salamanders in my yard and see them regularly. I love them and consider myself lucky to live amongst nature.

[@mebreevee]

Lucky! We have a run off stream but nothing substantial enough for salamanders to live in nearby. We do however have an absurd amount of skinks in our yard. And in our outdoor stairs, and…in our garage, that my cat likes to try and bring us….

[@haydenlung3577]

Correction: at 2:19 the footage being displayed is of a fire salamander (genus Salamandra), not a spotted salamander (genus Ambystoma) which it is erroneously labelled as. Fire salamanders are native to the old world and are more closely related to new world newts than to new world salamanders like the spotted. Although with both sharing a similar color scheme I understand the confusion Edit: same incorrect labelling at 3:02 and 3:12 as well

[@ulrikeotzen1761]

I am also confused because the fire salamanders here in Germany give birth to living babies not eggs....

I saw a little baby salamander with arms and legs in my pond today, which was made last year, and its so satisfying seeing them along with frogs, diving beetles and tadpoles earlier this year living their lives. It's like seeing and living into a glimpse of the carboniferous past that still lives on at the base of vernal freshwater ecosystems.

Everything about this short documentary is perfect. Photography, lighting, subject matter, music. And it was nice to not cry because of the condition some of the animals are when we first see them. Well done Dodo gang!

I have Axolotls. Which are a type of Mexican paedomorphic salamander. Meaning, they never grow out of their larval stage. They keep their frilly outside gills, but also have lungs. They are fully aquatic. Never leaving water. They are all but extinct in the wild. With some scientists saying as little as 100 individuals left. Very fascinating animals. As well as adorable! 💚

[@CarlosHuiskens]

Axolotls are critically endangered but not extinct in the wild.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*This brought back great 👍 childhood memories for me. In the summer, we would catch the black and yellow-spotted salamanders to keep as pets over the summer and late summer. My siblings and I would keep 3 or 4 salamanders, (along with 3 or 4 frogs and 3 or 4 toads) in a HUGE aquarium that we made into a moist terrarium with live plants and moss and fed them several times a day with bugs 🐜🐞🦗🪰🐛 and worms 🪱 we would catch ourselves. In mid to late August before school started again, we would release them back into the wild where we caught them, so they would have plenty of time to get ready for their winter hibernation. We did this for many years, starting in grade school and all through junior high school. (I am the oldest, and I have 4 siblings.) We also kept and released skinks and garter snakes every year in 2 other aquariums-turned-terrariams that we adapted to their particular habitat needs.* *I HAD NO IDEA SALAMANDERS LIVED FOR 30 YEARS; FASCINATING‼️* *THANK YOU, Dodo❣️😊🍃*

[@Babypinkloversakuraa]

OMG THESE AXOLOTOS ARE SOO CUTE THANKS DODO FOR LETTING US KNOW THIS BEAUTY OF OCEAN😁

Just FYI but they aren't Axolotls. It's a related species of salamander.

[@Paineinyourblank]

FYI..... their skin is poisonous but they are not venomous. If you happen to come into contact with a salamander, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands afterward and avoid rubbing your eyes or touching your mouth to prevent irritation. :)

I believe this video is getting the european salamander mixed up with the american one. This shows the lifecycle of the american kind Ambystoma maculatum, but at 2:20 and 3:05 it's the european Salamandra salamandra. This one acutually gives birth to the larvea and doesn't lay eggs.
