Native to the United States and Canada, spotted salamanders spend almost their entire lives hidden under rocks or logs. Watch as they grow from tiny eggs into 7-inch beasts!
Special thanks to Nature in Motion for sharing the footage with us! Check them out on KZhead: thedo.do/NatureInMotion.

I have a large population of salamanders in my yard and see them regularly. I love them and consider myself lucky to live amongst nature.
Lucky! We have a run off stream but nothing substantial enough for salamanders to live in nearby. We do however have an absurd amount of skinks in our yard. And in our outdoor stairs, and…in our garage, that my cat likes to try and bring us….
What a wonderful thing Life is.....nobody understands why there is such a thing as Life...but we all enjoy what it gives us!!!
Sure we do. God wanted us to enjoy the breath of life and created human beings to fellowship with. After all, we were created in God's image.
@@derekbaker777 i dont believe in god, but life sure is wonderful :)
@@evybressers7453: Well, I respect your honesty and politeness.
Not everyone is lucky to have a good life. Many, many creatures, sadly, wish they were never born. There is so much suffering in this world, and most of the time it is caused by human beings.
@@ES11777 Just look on the bright side😉
1:20 my favorite part/scene 😂 so cute ❤️
Correction: at 2:19 the footage being displayed is of a fire salamander (genus Salamandra), not a spotted salamander (genus Ambystoma) which it is erroneously labelled as. Fire salamanders are native to the old world and are more closely related to new world newts than to new world salamanders like the spotted. Although with both sharing a similar color scheme I understand the confusion Edit: same incorrect labelling at 3:02 and 3:12 as well
I am also confused because the fire salamanders here in Germany give birth to living babies not eggs....
This was pretty neat to watch. They’re really cute.
30 years, so interesting. I saw one in the wild when I was a kid in the 50’s. No one knew what it was. We were all thinking it was a prehistoric creature.🙉
If you were around then you'd be older then thirty
@@-kryon1c- he said "30 years so interesting" refering to the fact that they can live up to 30 years as said in the video
@@Bruno-lo8oc lol I don't remember typing this retarded comment i mustve read it wrong 🤣
The way they go ":D" just makes my day
They look a lot like axolotls in the beginning stages!
THEY ARE AXOLOTLS. It's just they evolve like pokemon however faster. I think the fastest animal that can evolve is axolotl
Hmm..Axolotls? interesting I just thought salamanders. Thx for that brief lesson lol
@@johnycraft7665 an axolotl is a salamander that is water only. They never grow lung and live exclusively in water
Dang, almost as if axolotls are a type of salamander
@@zacheryschmidt2611 yea that is correct
I have an axolotl in a large tank in my room and I can say with confidence: Waking up to see that cute little derp face smiling at me is the best feeling ever.
Absolutely fascinating to go through the metamorphosis from water breathing to air-breathing.
how long did it take?
@@kyles8524 2 - 4 cycle's of moon.
We were all amphibians from 370 until 340 million years ago, and fish before that. Our ancient ancestors went through this process.
@@snakeeyes9246 Cool isn't it!
When I was a kid I use to love looking for salamander's. They were rare to find where I used to live.
Thank you so much for this video! Again, this shows me how amazing and wonderful nature is ❤... I simply wish we could preserve all these beautiful creatures forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful creatures. Little miracles of nature
Yea they are so beautiful
How are you feeling today?hope you are enjoying the winter season right now?
It's always fascinating to watch new life coming into place! I hope to become a mum as well one day...I hope life will bless me with that one day...
You must be blessed one day possible, it's seems you are all alone you don't have a partner
How are you feeling today?hope you are enjoying the winter season right now?
They look just like embryos within their placenta. Thank you Dodo...So inspiring...
I like the look of those lacy gills. I had no idea they lived so long. It must feel good to be a salamander.
I have pet axolotls, which are salamanders that never lose their gills or leave the water - they look exaclty like the juveniles in this video, but my ones are 2 years old now
@@10848514959 Axolotls are the cutest little creatures! You are so lucky to have them.
I can't remember how I thought salamanders were born before this but I'm pretty sure I didn't know they started out as larvae. Also, unlike humans, they're extremely cute at every stage of their life 😅
Lol True that, Humans lose cute very soon!
I am literally crying with laughter
ikr! they look like beans before they hatch hehe
@@hendrikasunqrout571 they also start ugly before they are cute lol
@@hendrikasunqrout571 and others start out as not so cute to be honest 😂
That was pretty cool and they sure got some pretty salamanders. That Giant Salamander is a beast. Always fun and informative to watch. Great video
They are looking Like little grean beans at the beginning 🤣😍 so damn cool, good work!
More something like this please. Absolutely love to watch something new about animals
Beautiful... Their little fingers... So perfect...
2001: A Salamander Odyssey...! Loved it!
1:42-1:44 That! That right there! That look was so cute. It kinda looked like a smiling dog.
I loved it when the one looked right at the camera - sooo cute❣️
does anyone else find it cute a funny how they just levitate in the water when they stand still
I used to have salamanders at home... but my dog ate them... 😢 Lifetime worth of traumas...
Oh no, thats pretty tragic. Sorry for the loss of your little friends☺️
It is facinating all the transformation!🦎❤
It's really awesome
They look like axolotl when they're babies before metamorphosis
theres something so beautiful about the fact that they return to the pond they were born in to resrart the cycle :)
That was fantastic! Thank you x
All I can say is Amazing. Thank You for sharing.
The miracle of life! No matter how small!
They are beautiful.
Everything about this short documentary is perfect. Photography, lighting, subject matter, music. And it was nice to not cry because of the condition some of the animals are when we first see them. Well done Dodo gang!
Oh this is amazing! Beautiful life form. Thank you
Beautiful.
So cool that they grow into their gills!
Loved this!!! Cudos and thank you to all involved in making and sharing this lovely documentary...so interesting!!!
They won't hurt you there animal The Axolotl: *T-pose*
This video was very interesting, I never knew that salamanders were born in a pond.
*This brought back great 👍 childhood memories for me. In the summer, we would catch the black and yellow-spotted salamanders to keep as pets over the summer and late summer. My siblings and I would keep 3 or 4 salamanders, (along with 3 or 4 frogs and 3 or 4 toads) in a HUGE aquarium that we made into a moist terrarium with live plants and moss and fed them several times a day with bugs 🐜🐞🦗🪰🐛 and worms 🪱 we would catch ourselves. In mid to late August before school started again, we would release them back into the wild where we caught them, so they would have plenty of time to get ready for their winter hibernation. We did this for many years, starting in grade school and all through junior high school. (I am the oldest, and I have 4 siblings.) We also kept and released skinks and garter snakes every year in 2 other aquariums-turned-terrariams that we adapted to their particular habitat needs.* *I HAD NO IDEA SALAMANDERS LIVED FOR 30 YEARS; FASCINATING‼️* *THANK YOU, Dodo❣️😊🍃*
Wow, thank you for all your content and teaching us all new things! I love this so much.
I absolutely loved this one! The way in which they showed the entire life cycle with that music made it even more beautiful. I love the nature videos. Thanks, the dodo!
They are adorable 💖
30 years! I wish this was true for dogs !
Just realized how much I love the diversity on this planet
Holy moly sooo cute!!!
Cute Salamander 😁
That are so cute and vital to the ecosystem. I was obsessed with them as a little girl and would try to find them in the wetlands but my house. Thank you Dodo for the information and great memories 🦎🤗
Fascinating. Very interesting episode.
I used this video for my science project
Russell, that's some masterful video producing/editing. About as informative and interesting as possible in as concise a presentation as possible. Kudos.
Oh, meant to add: pretty much perfect choice and use of accompanying music.
Fascinating! Thank you DoDo.
I hope the person who is reading this (you) is having a good day and is healthy mentally and physically
Amazing!
I live in a mountain to northern Greece in Macedonia About 2-3 klm from my house there is a place that every time I go around October I see one spotted salamander (I go for mushrooms) I told to my friend that I suspect it's the same salamander and he laugh Every time, in the exact same location in the forest So every time I take her in my hand, pet her for a few minutes and leave her ,there is a myth that here in Greece that is a big blessing to touch a salamander, brings luck, and they are extremely rare here Beautiful creatures, and so calm and gentile, truly amazing No wonder that in many cultures are powerful symbols
Makes ya feel like a new parent seeing them born and grow up.
That was brilliant thank you! I knew virtually none of that 👍🏻
The beautiful cycle of life. Awesome video. I love watching the nature channels too. ❤️👏🦎
1:20 1:49 Salamander: “weeeeeeeee i love my life”
Life happens so fast all around us
Yea it's don't wait for someone
How are you feeling today?hope you are enjoying the winter season right now?
Okay
So what are you doing right now??
Meanwhile the Axolotl goes "why leave the pond!?" Time freeze!
Lovely creatures
1:43 I like that smart eyes look.
I saw that look too!
Reminds me of a salamander that was pretty rare that lived on the street I grew up on in Amherst MA. They built tunnels to try and keep them safe.
Amazing! Thank you!
When they are in their eggs still they remind me of the Chestbuster from Alien 😂
Salamanders in video: 👁..👁 Me watching video: 👁👄👁
Love these little critters…and the bigger ones, too!
This was amazing The Dodo, please share when you have more. Truly amazing, thank you!
Marvellous! Nature is a wonder.
Wow. This is an incredible video 👍
1:44 yo, he's got puppy eyes!
So beautiful 😍. We need to think about what we allow in our storm drains/waters or else this will no longer exist.
it's amazing that they can live up to 30 years
Beautiful!
I have Axolotls. Which are a type of Mexican paedomorphic salamander. Meaning, they never grow out of their larval stage. They keep their frilly outside gills, but also have lungs. They are fully aquatic. Never leaving water. They are all but extinct in the wild. With some scientists saying as little as 100 individuals left. Very fascinating animals. As well as adorable! 💚
Axolotls are critically endangered but not extinct in the wild.
@@CarlosHuiskens i didnt say they were extict. "All but extinct" means they are in extremely low numbers.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS CHANNEL I ENJOY IT!
It's amazing how their gills eventually become internal lungs. The transformation is incredible to watch. Ah nature! Love it! I wonder if salamanders watched the dinosaurs.
Despite disasters, life keeps giving! 💯😊
Salamanders are so adorable 😍🥰 .
1:52 I have ascended you mere mortals ascended while t posing on us
This was very interesting and informative. Thank you.
OMG THESE AXOLOTOS ARE SOO CUTE THANKS DODO FOR LETTING US KNOW THIS BEAUTY OF OCEAN😁
Just FYI but they aren't Axolotls. It's a related species of salamander.
Beautiful and Amazing.
Fascinating, great video. Would more like this one 🥰
This is sooo amazing to watch!!!! Thank you Dodo for not just entertaining me but teaching me as well ☺️❤️
