 | | Introduction to the amphibian order Caudata (or Urodela), salamanders. |
 | | The order Caudata, in the Class Amphibia, is comprised of salamanders, newts, sirens, amphiuma, waterdogs, and mudpuppies. |
 | | Some living caecilians, order Gymnophiona, also possess tails, but differ from salamanders in that caecilian tails are generally indistinguishable from the body, and are highly reduced compared to caudates. |
