	Tiger Salamander
		Tiger salamanders are usually found as eggs or larvae instead of adults, in temporary and permanent ponds that are open and grassy.
		Unlike in other parts of its range, tiger salamanders in the Southeast appear to be incapable of paedomorphosis, and the famous "cannibal morph" has not been collected in the eastern United States.

		The tiger salamander is one of the largest terrestrial salamanders in the United States.

		Tiger salamanders are found in a broad swath from east to west in America, with the distribution interrupted by the Rocky Mountains in the west and the Appalachian Mountains in the east.
		Because tiger salamanders are so widespread, and so varied in coloration, taxonomists have split them into about eight subspecies but the criteria for splitting and the exact number of these subspecies is a very touchy subject for some taxonomists.

	Axolotls: The Fascinating Mexican Axolotl and the Tiger Salamander
		Because it's a salamander, it's part of one of the three branches of class Amphibia, which also includes the frogs and toads (the Anurans), and the mainly eel-like order, Gymnophiona, which are also known as the Caecilians.
		One common misconception is that axolotls and other salamanders are lizards or reptiles - in actual fact, amphibians are a completely separate group of animals, as are mammals, like ourselves.
		It is generally accepted that neoteny is a "backward" step in evolution, because the Axolotl is descended from what were once terrestrial salamanders, like the closely related species, the Tiger Salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum and Ambystoma mavortium spp.
