The Extraordinary Life Cycle Of A Salamander | The Dodo

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!

I absolutely love the way this channel teaches me something knew everytime I watch it. And that's also why it's my favorite channel. Thanks Dodo and to everybody involved.

30 years! I didn't know they lived that long! So awesome ❤️❤️

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.

What a wonderful thing Life understands why there is such a thing as Life...but we all enjoy what it gives us!!!

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

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...

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.🙉

Beautiful creatures. Little miracles of nature

I saw a little baby salamander with arms and legs in my pond today, which was made last year, and its so satisfying seeing them along with frogs, diving beetles and tadpoles earlier this year living their lives. It's like seeing and living into a glimpse of the carboniferous past that still lives on at the base of vernal freshwater ecosystems.

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.

Beautiful... Their little fingers... So perfect...

I loved it when the one looked right at the camera - sooo cute❣️

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!

It is facinating all the transformation!🦎❤

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
