Both the long tail salamander and the northern salamander look alike ,but there is  one more.

  1. Interesting post, and the video is great! But I wish you could use a capital letter in paragraph 3 in the first word. And I wonder if yo could a period at the end of the paragraph, in paragraph 3.

  2. Hey Maddie, I like how you included how 2 salamanders look almost identical. Also I can’t believe how HUGE that salamander was in the video !! This article was really good.

  3. Good job!!!! I like how you added details about what different salamanders look like. I wonder why you picked salamanders. I wish you wrote more.

  4. Dear Madison,
    I did not know that the Northern red salamander is identical. I hope you can teach me more about the Northern salamander like what it eats. I loved watching the video about the giant salamander. It was amazing about the Northern Dusky salamander. Do you know what the Giant salamander eats?

Maybe I should learn more about them. The giant salamander is amazing! Are giant salamanders rare or are they common? Do they make noise? kind of salamander is your favorite? What do salamanders eat?

Hi Madison,it’s Robby from http://robbyonlinep.edublogs.org/ and I am impressed of your post because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a post like this with specific details like you wont find as much dots on that salamander then that salamander.
