Bivalves, Animals, Squid
A group of cold-blooded vertebrates, under the class of Amphibians, primarily characterized by their slender bodies, short noses, and long tails. These animal species, often confused with lizards, are distinct due to their life cycle involving an aquatic larval stage. Although primarily terrestrial as adults, they have close ties to water. Unlike Mollusks and Bivalves, which are invertebrates, or Squids, which are marine creatures, Salamanders are typically found in moist environments on land.
