Michoacan stream salamander

The Michoacan stream salamander is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

The Michoacan stream salamander has both neotenic and fully developed terrestrial (or ground-dwelling) populations. Neotenic populations retain their gills and fins throughout life, whereas metamorphosed individuals develop adult traits, such as a lack of gills, functioning lungs, eyelids and no fins. More
