The red salamander (Pseudotriton ruber) is a species of salamander in the family (Plethodontidae) (lungless salamanders) endemic to the eastern United States. Its skin is orange/red with random black spots. Its habitats are temperate forests, small creeks, ponds, forests, temperate shrubland, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater, trees springs. Overall this species is common and widespread,[1] but locally it has declined because of habitat loss and it is considered threatened in Indiana and New York.[2] Red salamanders eat insects, earthworms, spiders, small crustaceans, snails, and smaller salamanders. To eat, they extend their tongue to capture prey on the tip of it and retract it back into their mouths.[3] The red salamander, as a member of the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders) lacks lungs and respires through its skin.[4]
