Mud puppies, which are a type of aquatic salamander, primarily rely on their keen sense of smell to locate prey in their murky, freshwater habitats. They have external gills that enhance their olfactory capabilities, allowing them to detect scents in the water. Additionally, they use their sensitive skin and lateral line system to sense vibrations and movements, helping them hunt for small invertebrates and fish. Their nocturnal behavior further aids in their foraging, as they are more active during the night when they can more easily find food.
