mud salamander
The mud salamander or mountain triton (''Pseudotriton montanus'') is a salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is a red salamander with black spots that inhabits swamps, bogs, and streams. It is often confused with the red salamander, but the mud salamander is distinguished by its dark eyes and short snout. It is indigenous to the eastern United States, but is currently an endangered species. Some states have programs to locate mud salamanders to try to keep the species alive.
==Taxonomy==
The taxonomy of ''Pseudotriton montanus'' and its closest relatives is unsettled. Several subspecies have been described, and some of these might warrant full species rank. In particular, ''Pseudotriton diastictus'' maybe treated as a species or a subspecies (''Pseudotriton montanus diastictus'').〔 The rest of this article is following the latter position.
