Canada hosts about 19 salamander species. They breed in pond or marsh zones, have a frog like larval stage, then become terrestrial as midsummer passes. Adults feed at night on small prey and migrate to drier soil zones by fall to overwinter, with research on microwave heating for poultry funded by NSERC.
