Nope, salamanders aren’t lizards—surprisingly, they aren’t even reptiles. They’re amphibians.

It’s understandable to mistake the slender, long-tailed, little-legged creatures for lizards, but they’re actually closer relatives to frogs. Take a look at them—you can kind of see it! Like frogs and other amphibians, salamander babies have gills and live in the water, then move to moist land as adults. That’s because their adult skin absorbs water but also loses it, so they need constant replenishment.

Lizards (and all reptiles) don’t need to live on moist land. While some are comfortable in the water, they can never breathe it, and their scaly skin prevents water loss.

Not at all. Lizards are a type of reptile. Like snakes, turtles, alligators and crocodilles, and in prehistoric times, dinosaurs. Salamanders on the other hand are amphibians. I know its a little hard to belive but lizards have scales, they lay there eggs on land. Also salamanders absorb fluids and oxegen through there skin. (However on land they do breathe through their nostrils) Which is why if you ever find a salamaderm or a frog, (yes they are different than toads) and your planning o pick it up, keep your hands wet at all times with dechlorinated water. Otherwise the frog or salamander with absorb your hand oils and die.

Salamander, along with frogs, toads and newts, are another group called amphibians. They do not have scaly skin, but they have wet, moist skin because they are semi-aquatic

Salamanders looks like lizards, but they are not, they are amphibians. They have a slimy skin that lizards or other reptiles don't have.
