Jefferson’s salamander — size comparison — facts and sources

Jefferson’s salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) inhabits moist, relatively undisturbed deciduous forests in the eastern United States.

Outside breeding it hides underground or in leaf litter, making feeding difficult to observe. In early spring, sometimes before a complete thaw, it migrates to forest ponds.

Adults eat insects and other invertebrates, although their diet is poorly studied. Males usually reach ponds before females. Eggs and larvae develop in water.
