The California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus) is a lungless salamander [2] that is found primarily in coastal mountain areas of Northern California, United States as well as in a limited part of the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, California, in patches of the northern Central Valley of California, and in extreme southwestern Oregon.
Batrachoseps campi is one of the largest slender salamanders, a genus otherwise mainly made up of very small species, and can grow to over 6 cm in length. It has a relatively broad head, and is colored brown with numerous gray speckles. These speckles often cover most of the salamander, making it appear silvery-gray.
The three-lined salamander (Eurycea guttolineata) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae.It is endemic to the south-eastern United States. [3] This species was classified as a sub-species of long tailed salamanders until DNA sequencing revealed that there was no hybridization between the two species. [4]
