Whats the difference between a salamander and a lizard?
Lots. For one thing, they’re not even closely related. A salamander is an amphibian, and a lizard is a reptile. Salamanders do not have scales, and lizards always do. About the only thing they have in common is the general shape of their bodies. Salamanders are very fascinating animals, but may be hard to find in this area except during rainy times. Some salamanders are completely lungless and depend completely on their skins for oxygen exchange. Larval salamanders resemble the adults, but have gills instead of lungs.
