Ocoee salamander
The Ocoee salamander (''Desmognathus ocoee'') is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae.
Its natural habitats are temperate forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater springs and wet rocks in mountainous areas of the Southeastern United States. It was first described by J. C. Nicholls in 1949.〔Nicholls, J.C. 1949. A new salamander of the genus ''Desmognathus'' from East Tennessee. Journ. Tenn. Acad. Sci., vol. 24, no. 2, pp. 127-129.〕
==Distribution and habitat==
The Ocoee salamander is found in two separate populations. The more numerous is in the Blue Ridge Mountains and at lower levels in the gorges of the rivers Hiwassee, Ocoee, Tugaloo and Tallulah. The less numerous population is in the Appalachian Plateau in northeastern Alabama. It is found over a greater range of altitudes than other members of the genus ''Desmognathus''. At lower levels it is an aquatic species but at higher altitudes it is mostly terrestrial. It is found close to fast flowing mountain streams, in seepage areas, on moist forest floors and on wet rocks. In cove valleys in the Appalachian Mountains it prefers hardwood forests with trees that are more than eighty-five years old.
