__Fire Salamander__

The fire salamander is a species of amphibian that is known for its striking black and yellow coloration. Fire salamanders are able to secrete a poisonous substance through their skin, which can cause skin irritation or even death in some animals. They are also nocturnal and prefer to live in damp, wooded areas near streams or ponds.


Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that typically undergo metamorphosis from aquatic larvae to semi-aquatic or terrestrial adults. They are classified into three main groups: frogs and toads (Anura), salamanders and newts (Caudata), and caecilians (Gymnophiona). Amphibians play a crucial role in ecosystems as both predators and prey.
