The Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) is a
species of
Mole Salamander. The proper common name is the Eastern Tiger Salamander, as to differentiate from other closely related species.Eastern tiger salamanders are large, with a typical length of 6-8 inches. They can reach up to 13
inches in length, particularly
neotenic individuals. Adults are usually blotched with
grey,
green, or
black, and have large, lidded
eyes. They have short snouts, thick necks, sturdy legs, and long
tails. Their
diet consists largely of small
insects and
worms, though it is not rare for an adult to consume
frogs and baby
mice.
