Information about the Fire Salamander:
The Fire Salamander is the most familiar of the salamanders
of Europe. These amphibians live in forests in the hilly
areas of southern and central Europe, where they can be
found in the leaf litter and rotting tree trunks. They spend
much of their lives hidden beneath rocks, in wood piles
and fallen trees and branches. They feed on insects, spiders,
soil invertebrates such as worms and slugs. The Fire salamander
probably got it's name from the misconception they were
'born' of fire, as they would be living in rotting logs
that - when placed on a burning fire - they would then crawl
out of.
