QUICK READ ABOUT Tiger Salamander
These salamanders usually grow to a length of 6–8 in (15–20 cm) with a lifespan of around 12–15 years.[4] They are characterized by having markings varying in color on the back of their head, body, and tail.[5] The coloring of these spots range from brownish yellow to greenish yellow, while the rest of their back is black or dark brown.[3] They have short snouts, thick necks, strong legs, and lengthy tails.[6] Their diet consists largely of small insects, snails, slugs, frogs, and worms, although it is not rare for an adult to turn cannibalistic and consume its own kind.[5][7] Cannibalism in these salamanders can almost always be traced back to a large volume of competing predators and lack of prey in the area.[8] If the opportunity presents itself, tiger salamanders will even feed on other smaller salamander species, lizards, snakelets (baby snakes), and newborn mice.[7][9]
Illinois citizens voted for the eastern tiger salamander as state amphibian in 2004, and the legislature enacted it in 2005
