Almost all salamanders belong tot the Plethonidae-family: the so-called lungless salamanders. They don't have lungs but breathe completely throught their throats and their skin. You could say this is the major adaption of the salamanders. A disadvantage is that as soon as the salamander enters a dry area, it inmediately starts to dehydrate. Most salamanders can only survive in permanent moit environments.

They may also Create a Larvae around their bodies to protect themselves from a some-what attack.

Tiger salamanders have many adaptations. One of these is their webbed feet that are useful in escaping predators when in water. Another is their brownish coloration. This helps them to camouflage in their usually marsh-like environment. They also have a large mouth with no teeth that is useful in eating insects.

The most interesting adaptation of the salamander is a structural one. When something snags its tail, the salamander will drop its tail and run away.

They do not have lungs, similar to fish, and this helps them to survive in wet environmen where they spend alot of time underwater, like in caves.
