1. Alpine salamander

   The alpine salamander (Salamandra atra) is a black salamander that can be found in the French Alps, and through the mountainous range in Europe. It is a member of the genus salamandra. Their species name, atra, may be derived from the Latin ater, meaning dull black. The salamanders' coloration has evolved over time, as some species are completely monochrome black and others have yellow spotting and marks. Their life expectancy is at least 10 years. There are four subspecies of the alpine salamander, with varied distribution and physical coloration. Unlike other salamanders, whose larvae are developed in water, the alpine salamander and its subspecies are a fully terrestrial species in life and gestation. They give birth to live young.Alpine salamanders produce toxic compounds from their skin. These compounds may protect them from both predator and microbial threats.

1. Alpine salamander

   The alpine salamander is a shiny black salamander found in the Central, Eastern and Dinaric Alps, at altitudes above 700 metres. The Western Alps are inhabited by a similar species Lanza's alpine salamander in only one small area. There are no differences in length between sexes and sex ratio is 1:1. Their life expectancy is at least 10 years. Unlike other salamanders whose larvae are developed in water, the alpine salamander is a fully terrestrial species. Capture-recapture methods suggest the species is very stationary; 12 m was the maximum observed distance travelled by one individual during the summer season. About 120 individuals per hectare were counted in most suitable areas with >2000 individuals/ha also observed, suggesting this rather cryptic species is quite abundant.
