Caudata

The Order Caudata, commonly known as salamanders or newts, is a group of amphibians characterized by their long, slender bodies and tails. They have smooth skin and typically lay their eggs in water or moist environments. Salamanders have a unique ability to regenerate lost body parts, including limbs, spinal cords, and even parts of their brain. They are found worldwide, from tropical rainforests to arctic tundra, and play important roles as predators and prey in many ecosystems. However, many species of salamanders are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and the introduction of non-native species. Protecting and conserving these fascinating creatures for future generations to enjoy is important.
