Two-toed amphiumas are the most prominent in the Amphiumidae family and the longest salamander species in the United States, [4] that can grow from 39 to 1,042 g (1.4 to 36.8 oz) in mass and from 34.8 to 116 cm (13.7 to 45.7 in) in length.
Large or resistant prey is retained by the teeth while repeated protrusions and retractions of the tongue draw it in. Swallowing involves alternate contraction and relaxation of muscles in the throat, assisted by depression of the eyeballs into the roof of the mouth. [44] Many lungless salamanders of the family Plethodontidae have more ...

Desmognathus fuscus is a species of amphibian in the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders). [2] [3] The species is commonly called the dusky salamander or northern dusky salamander to distinguish it from populations in the southern United States which form several distinct species, the southern dusky salamanders (D. auriculatus, D. valentinei).

The largest South China giant salamander, which researchers said is likely the largest amphibian ever recorded, lived during the first half of the 20th century and was housed at the London Zoo for ...
This aids the salamander when feeding. When the salamander performs the "suck and gape" feeding style, the prey is pulled into the mouth, and the teeth function to hold the prey inside the mouth and prevent the prey from escaping. [14] At both sides of their mouths their lips interlock, which allows them to use suction feeding. [7]
