The many-lined salamander is a small amphibian with a long body and numerous dark stripes on the sides. It lives in streams, swamps, and moist forests in the southeastern United States.
The many-lined salamander differs from related species by distinct numerous lines on the sides of its body. It is important for nature because it eats insect larvae and serves as food for fish, birds, and snakes.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
