1. Fire salamander

   The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is a common species of salamander found in Europe. It is black with yellow spots or stripes to a varying degree; some specimens can be nearly completely black while on others the yellow is dominant. Shades of red and orange may sometimes appear, either replacing or mixing with the yellow according to subspecies. This bright coloration is highly conspicuous and acts to deter predators by honest signalling of its toxicity (aposematism) Fire salamanders can have a very long lifespan; one specimen lived for more than 50 years in Museum Koenig, a German natural history museum.

1. fire salamander

   A fire salamander is a specific species of brightly colored amphibian native to the regions of mainland Europe, specifically in the forests. Scientifically known as Salamandra salamandra, the fire salamander is known for its black body with contrasting yellow or orange-red spots or stripes. They are typically between 15 to 25 cm in length and are known for secreting a toxic substance in response to predation, making them one of the most poisonous amphibians in the world. They are active during the night and are commonly found in wet, damp habitats. This species gains its name 'fire' salamander from the belief during ancient times that they emerge from fire or can survive in fire due to their habit of emerging from logs and holes when it rains and wood is being burnt on the fireplace.
