The Cope's giant salamander (Dicamptodon copei) is a species of salamander in the family Dicamptodontidae. [4] It reaches between 12.4–19.1 cm (4 + 7 ⁄ 8 – 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The salamander resembles Pacific giant salamander larvae, but it never transforms to a terrestrial stage. It is smaller overall with a narrower head and shorter limbs.
The name adds to the list of kinorhynch (mud dragons) species named after dragons and also refers to the study of kinorhynch phylogeny as a "never-ending story"."

Forty percent of mammal species are rodents, and they inhabit every continent except Antarctica. This list contains circa 2,700 species in 518 genera in the order Rodentia. [ 1 ]
The list currently includes 1352 species. Conservation status [8] Least-concern species: ... Java apple; bellfruit Myrtaceae (myrtle family) Tristaniopsis: water gum ...
Different species are physiologically adapted to consume different foods that must be acquired in different ways, and the manner in which they feed must correspond to these unique characteristics. Rodents share common species-typical feeding behaviors (also known as order-typical, since all these creatures are members of the same order, rodentia).
The IUCN Red List of mammals lists both beaver species as least concern. [40] [41] The North American beaver is widespread throughout most of the United States and Canada and can be found in northern Mexico. The species was introduced to Finland in 1937 (and then spread to northwestern Russia) and to Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, in 1946. [40]
Island species in general, and flightless island species in particular, are most at risk. The situation is exemplified by Hawaii, where 30% of all known recently extinct bird taxa originally lived, [5] and Guam, which lost over 60% of its native bird taxa in the decades following the introduction of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis).
