With extreme sadness I announce you that Little died tonight. I found him laying at the bottom of its tank lifeless. I did not notice anything weird in the last days, on the contrary, it was eating and swimming fine. Although I do not know its precise age I suppose it was at least 7-8 years old. It's been a good companion and source of many laughters among me and my friends. I am gonna miss him terribly. In its honor this page will continue to live and will continue to grow people's awareness about the global amphibian crisis.
RIP Little...

Amphibians never stop surprising us!

Australia's water rats, or Rakali, are one of Australia's beautiful but lesser-known native rodents. And these intelligent, semi-aquatic rats have revealed another talent: they are one of the only Australian mammals to safely eat toxic cane toads.

Incredibile isn't it?

OMG!!!! 😍 This is incredible! 🐸 You are probably looking at the world's biggest amphibian!

Using DNA from museum specimens collected in the early 20th century, researchers from ZSL (Zoological Society of London), an Amphibian Survival Alliance partner, and London’s Natural History Museum identified two new species of giant salamander – one of which they suspect is the world’s biggest amphibian!

Did you know there is a species of all female Salamander that can "steal" DNA from other unrelated species? Check it out! https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/all-the-single-salamander-ladies/?fbclid=IwAR3BC9-iHe7niSR_cM6O_kzxgcLUc-6liCzbsmEhRuRLZK6XCdAlLapHLN4

Some populations of the mole salamander survive—and thrivewithout having any males of its own species to reproduce with.

Little enjoys repugnant and abhorrent meals with sprightly enthusiasm. Thanks mum for making me human

The smiling salamanders can regrow most of their body parts, so researchers are building improved maps of their DNA.

Amputation of the axolotl forelimb results in the formation of a blastema, a transient tissue where progenitor cells accumulate prior to limb regeneration. However, the molecular understanding of blastema formation had previously suffered from the inability to identify and isolate blastema precursor...
