Marbled Salamanders

The video explains the breeding habits of salamanders, focusing on the marbled salamander, which uniquely reproduces on land. The male deposits sperm on the ground, absorbed by the female, who lays eggs in dry areas. Heavy rains are crucial for larvae development, but the mother must leave to avoid drowning. The larvae eventually hatch, grow into tadpoles, and mature into adults, continuing the cycle.
