Facts

  • This species is one of the few salamanders capable of vocalizing (Ref: Wiki)
  • Some larva continue to grow into an adult and become sexually mature without losing their external gills (Ref: Wiki)
  • D. tenebrosus has until recently been included in D. ensatus and these species interbreed (Ref: EoL)
