3 Pigeon Mountain Salamander These three species are very common in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Ocoee salamanders are found in southwestern North Carolina and are separated from the Carolina mountain dusky salamander by the Pigeon River. These three species were all formerly considered to be a single species, Desmognathus ochrophaeus. All three of these species exhibit highly variable coloration and are best separated from one another by location. View Edit Delete
4 Slimy Salamander Slimy salamanders are entirely terrestrial. In North Carolina, these salamanders are most abundant in moist forest floor habitats in deciduous forests but may be found in pine forests, bottomland hardwood forests, and caves. The slimy salamander was formerly considered a single species but has since been divided into a complex of closely related species. Six of these species may be found in North Carolina but they are often indistinguishable in the field. View Edit Delete
