Newts and salamanders, unlike frogs and toads, keep their tails as adults.

Salamanders are amphibians, whereas geckos are reptiles.

Lizards are more closely related to humans than to salamanders.

Many species of amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, rely on wetlands for breeding.

Janos caught salamanders.

The brightening of the night also worries biologists, who say artificial lighting disrupts bird migration and the development and behavior of several other animals. At a recent [21-22 Feb.] Washington meeting of experts from several fields to discuss the night, evolutionary biologist Bryant Buchanan of Utica College in New York State cited studies showing that fewer frogs and salamanders metamorphose when the night sky is lighter, and pond snails do not grow as large as normal.

Amphibians, which include frogs, toads, and salamanders, are cold-blooded, or poikilothermic, meaning they regulate their body temperature through external sources rather than by internal metabolism.

Scientists have long been fascinated by the ability of amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, to regrow severed tails.
