Description

The tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, is a mole salamander, and it is one of the largest terrestrial salamanders in North America. They are secretive creatures that live underground in burrows of woodlands or in grassy open fields, and they need loose soil for burrowing. Physically, they have a black or dark brown back with brownish yellow to greenish yellow markings on the back of their head, body, and tail. Other characteristics include short snouts, thick necks, strong legs, and lengthy tails. Their diet is mostly small insects, frogs, and worms, but an adult can turn cannibalistic.
