Salamanders are a kind of small animal with a narrow body, four short legs, and a tail. Salamanders move very close to the ground. Salamanders are in a family of animals called amphibians. That means that they live in the water for part of their lives and they live on land for the rest of it.
Salamanders look a little like lizards, but they are not lizards. Salamanders are in the same family of animals as frogs. Like frogs, they live in water when they are young. When they are adults they live on land where it is often wet.Jacob found a salamander underneath a big rock in the woods.
