Northern Two-Lined Salamander

Eurycea bislineata

Two-lined Salamanders are slender yellow salamanders found statewide, often in or around streams. These salamanders feed on a wide array of aquatic invertebrates. When confronted by a predator, they employ a range of defense mechanisms; freezing, quickly wiggling away, and lastly, dropping their tails to distract the attacker.
