	Amphiuma
		Amphiumas are a genus of salamanders, the only genus within the family Amphiumidae.
		Amphiumas and sirens[?] share the same distribution, although they are not closely related.
		The legs are existing, but very small: amphiumas are up to 1 m long, but their legs measure only 2 cm.

	Caudata Culture Species Entry - Amphiuma
		Amphiuma means, the two-toed amphiuma, is the largest of the three species, reaching a maximum size of 116 cm (45.6 inches) in total length.
		Amphiuma tridactylum, the three-toed amphiuma, is the second largest of the three species reaching a maximum size of 106 cm (41.7 inches) in total length.
		Amphiuma species are aquatic, although they periodically can be found on land at night during rainstorms or when the females are brooding eggs. The normal habitat for all three species is either permanent or semi-permanent bodies of water such as canals, ponds, ditches, sloughs, rivers, or streams.

	Two-Toed Amphiuma
		Amphiumas have two pairs of legs, and the three species, all of which occur in the southeastern United States, differ in regard to the number of toes at the ends of these limbs.
		Amphiumas are less aquatic than their bodies might suggest, and it appears that they actually lay their eggs at the interface of water and land, rather than in a strictly aquatic habitat.
		Amphiumas, especially this largest of the three species, are notorious for having a vicious (though not at all venomous) bite and should be handled with some respect.

	Amphiumidae
		Amphiuma means is distributed in the Atlantic and Gulf coastal states from Virginia, south to Florida and west to Louisiana.
		Amphiuma pholeter is restricted to a small area at the base of the Florida panhandle and an adjacent part of Georgia.
		Amphiumas are nocturnally active, generalist predators that feed on crayfish, frogs, fish and small snakes.

	Congo Eel, aka Congo Snake, or the Amphiuma
		The amphiumas are common in the southeastern areas of the United States, providing scientists with a chance for research.
		Amphiuma spend most of their time hiding in underwater burrows and taking in air from the surface by stretching their heads.
		The areas of Alabama to Texas, and from the Mississippi River states to Missouri, are the habitats of the three-toed amphiuma.

	Two-Toed Amphiuma, (Amphiuma means)
		The two-toed Amphiuma is a large, slick-bodied salamander with a dark brown or fl dorsum and a dark grey venter (Salthe, 1973).
		Amphiuma is a pædomorphic salamander (a condition in which sexual maturity is reached before physical transformation is complete); adult skin is smooth and fully metamorphosed, however adults lack eyelids (as all larave do), and possess four branchial arches, with a gill slit between the third and fourth branchial arch, yet they lack external gills.
		During the day, Amphiuma retreats in abandoned crawfish holes and mammal burrows or in jumbles of bottom debris with head protruding in expectation of prey (Bishop, 1943, p.50).

	Sirens and Amphiuma
		Siren and Amphiuma are two genera of aquatic salamanders in the Southeastern United States that have not been well studied.
		Amphiuma means and Siren lacertina are large, fully aquatic salamanders that spend most of their time burrowed in mud and bottom debris.
		Influence of hydroperiod, isolation, and heterospecifics on the distribution of aquatic salamanders (Siren and Amphiuma) among depression wetlands.

	Two-toed Amphiuma
		All Amphiumas undergo an incomplete metamorphosis (transformation from larva to adult), retaining one of the three gill slits and never developing eyelids.
		The number of twos distinguishes the three species of Amphiuma, but you have to catch one to be able to count them.
		The Three-toed Amphiuma has a much lighter belly that contrats with the back and sides and the One-toed is uniformly colored.

	Two-toed Amphiuma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Two-toed amphiumas mate in water, and the female lays about 200 eggs in a beadlike string.
		When the larvae hatch, they are about 5 cm (2 in) long; their tiny limbs are of more use to them at this stage than when they metamorphose to adult form, at about 7.5 cm (3 in) long.
		The three-toed amphiuma, Amphiuma tridactylum, also found in the southern USA, is similar in appearance and habits but has three toes on each of its tiny limbs.

		Amphiuma are large, aquatic, caudates that may appear more like large eels than amphibians.
		Amphiuma inhabit swamps, marshes, drainage ditches, and streams in southeastern areas of the United States.
		Amphiuma are capable of enclosing their bodies in a water-proof mucus, which will retain enough moisture to survive the driest seasons.

	Crayfish Traps \| Managers' Monitoring Manual
		Siren and amphiuma are often neglected in amphibian monitoring programs because of their cryptic nature.
		Siren and amphiuma aestivate when water levels drop and are thus very difficult to capture using any sampling methods during such periods.
		Amphiuma means are most active in summer months when water temperatures are highest (Machovina 1994, Sorensen 2003).

		The smallest groups are the giant salamanders (Cryptobranchidae), and Amphiuma (Amphiumidae), for which there are only three living species in each family.
		Aquatic species may walk along the floor of their watery homes, and are rather capable swimmers, using their well-developed tails for propulsion.
		Adult amphiuma lack external gills, although they are nearly completely aquatic, and rely mainly on pulmonary respiration.
