This wildlife status report looks at the long-toed salamander, one of two salamander species found in Alberta. It is mostly found along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and is usually associated with low mountain passes or river valleys. A lack of long-term data makes assessing population trends for the salamander difficult. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
