Animalia > Chordata > Amphibia > Caudata > Ambystomatidae > Ambystoma > Ambystoma mabeeiAmbystoma mabeei (Mabee's Salamander)Synonyms: Linguaelapsus mabeei Mabee's salamander (Ambystoma mabeei) is a mole salamander found in tupelo and cypress bottoms in pinewoods, open fields, and lowland deciduous forests, pine savannahs, low wet woods, and swamps. It usually burrows near breeding ponds. Eggs are attached to submerged plant material or bottom debris of acidic, fishless ponds in or near pine stands. In Virginia, it breeds in fish-free vernal pond in a large clear-cut area and in ephemeral sinkhole ponds up to 1.5 m deep, within bottomland hardwood forest mixed with pine. Larvae develop in the ponds. Distances moved into terrestrial habitat are unknown, but probably are greater than 150 metres (490 ft). |
