LONGTAIL SALAMANDER
While their long tail accounts for more than half the total
length of the mature adult, young longtail salamanders
have relatively short tails. They prefer wet shale banks and
other seep areas, and are often found underneath stones,
logs or along clear, flowing woodland streams. Little is known
about the life history of the longtail salamander, but
it probably closely parallels that of other members
of the same genus, such as the two-lined salamander.
It has been reported that the gilled larvae may
require up to two years to transform into adults.
