The Extraordinary Life Cycle Of A Salamander | The Dodo 

Thank you to the Dodo for showing the beauty of animals in all their forms. More wildlife videos please!

I absolutely love the way this channel teaches me something knew everytime I watch it. And that's also why it's my favorite channel. Thanks Dodo and to everybody involved.

30 years! I didn't know they lived that long! So awesome ❤️❤️

They are such enchanting wonders.

What a wonderful thing Life is.....nobody understands why there is such a thing as Life...but we all enjoy what it gives us!!!

I have a large population of salamanders in my yard and see them regularly. I love them and consider myself lucky to live amongst nature.

1:20 my favorite part/scene 😂 so cute ❤️

Beautiful creatures. Little miracles of nature

It's always fascinating to watch new life coming into place! I hope to become a mum as well one day...I hope life will bless me with that one day...

30 years, so interesting. I saw one in the wild when I was a kid in the 50’s. No one knew what it was. We were all thinking it was a prehistoric creature.🙉

They look a lot like axolotls in the beginning stages!

This was pretty neat to watch. They’re really cute.

Absolutely fascinating to go through the metamorphosis from water breathing to air-breathing.

Thank you so much for this video! Again, this shows me how amazing and wonderful nature is ❤... I simply wish we could preserve all these beautiful creatures forever!!!!!!!!!!!

Correction: at 2:19 the footage being displayed is of a fire salamander (genus Salamandra), not a spotted salamander (genus Ambystoma) which it is erroneously labelled as. Fire salamanders are native to the old world and are more closely related to new world newts than to new world salamanders like the spotted. Although with both sharing a similar color scheme I understand the confusion Edit: same incorrect labelling at 3:02 and 3:12 as well

The way they go ":D" just makes my day

I have an axolotl in a large tank in my room and I can say with confidence: Waking up to see that cute little derp face smiling at me is the best feeling ever.

1:42-1:44 That! That right there! That look was so cute. It kinda looked like a smiling dog.

That was pretty cool and they sure got some pretty salamanders. That Giant Salamander is a beast. Always fun and informative to watch. Great video

They are looking Like little grean beans at the beginning 🤣😍 so damn cool, good work!

I can't remember how I thought salamanders were born before this but I'm pretty sure I didn't know they started out as larvae. Also, unlike humans, they're extremely cute at every stage of their life 😅

I loved it when the one looked right at the camera - sooo cute❣️

I like the look of those lacy gills. I had no idea they lived so long. It must feel good to be a salamander.

Beautiful... Their little fingers... So perfect...

More something like this please. Absolutely love to watch something new about animals

They look just like embryos within their placenta. Thank you Dodo...So inspiring...

It's really awesome

When I was a kid I use to love looking for salamander's. They were rare to find where I used to live.

Fascinating! Thank you DoDo.

Cute Salamander 😁

They look like axolotl when they're babies before metamorphosis

I used to have salamanders at home... but my dog ate them... 😢 Lifetime worth of traumas...

Fascinating. Very interesting episode.

The beautiful cycle of life. Awesome video. I love watching the nature channels too. ❤️👏🦎

Salamander😻

Everything about this short documentary is perfect. Photography, lighting, subject matter, music. And it was nice to not cry because of the condition some of the animals are when we first see them. Well done Dodo gang!

I hope the person who is reading this (you) is having a good day and is healthy mentally and physically

Wow. This is an incredible video 👍

Thank you❤Awesome video. 30 yrs 😮

That was brilliant thank you! I knew virtually none of that 👍🏻

I absolutely loved this one! The way in which they showed the entire life cycle with that music made it even more beautiful. I love the nature videos. Thanks, the dodo!

*This brought back great 👍 childhood memories for me. In the summer, we would catch the black and yellow-spotted salamanders to keep as pets over the summer and late summer. My siblings and I would keep 3 or 4 salamanders, (along with 3 or 4 frogs and 3 or 4 toads) in a HUGE aquarium that we made into a moist terrarium with live plants and moss and fed them several times a day with bugs 🐜🐞🦗🪰🐛 and worms 🪱 we would catch ourselves. In mid to late August before school started again, we would release them back into the wild where we caught them, so they would have plenty of time to get ready for their winter hibernation. We did this for many years, starting in grade school and all through junior high school. (I am the oldest, and I have 4 siblings.) We also kept and released skinks and garter snakes every year in 2 other aquariums-turned-terrariams that we adapted to their particular habitat needs.* *I HAD NO IDEA SALAMANDERS LIVED FOR 30 YEARS; FASCINATING‼️* *THANK YOU, Dodo❣️😊🍃*

That are so cute and vital to the ecosystem. I was obsessed with them as a little girl and would try to find them in the wetlands but my house. Thank you Dodo for the information and great memories 🦎🤗

This video was very interesting, I never knew that salamanders were born in a pond.

Just realized how much I love the diversity on this planet

When they are in their eggs still they remind me of the Chestbuster from Alien 😂

Beautiful and Amazing.

They won't hurt you there animal The Axolotl: *T-pose*

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS CHANNEL I ENJOY IT!

Amazing. Thank You for sharing!

I live in a mountain to northern Greece in Macedonia About 2-3 klm from my house there is a place that every time I go around October I see one spotted salamander (I go for mushrooms) I told to my friend that I suspect it's the same salamander and he laugh Every time, in the exact same location in the forest So every time I take her in my hand, pet her for a few minutes and leave her ,there is a myth that here in Greece that is a big blessing to touch a salamander, brings luck, and they are extremely rare here Beautiful creatures, and so calm and gentile, truly amazing No wonder that in many cultures are powerful symbols

It's really beautiful nature 👍🌎👍🌠

So beautiful 😍. We need to think about what we allow in our storm drains/waters or else this will no longer exist.

That was excellent. Relaxing. Had a smile on my face the whole time. ❤️👊🏼🤙🏼

Despite disasters, life keeps giving! 💯😊

Reminds me of a salamander that was pretty rare that lived on the street I grew up on in Amherst MA. They built tunnels to try and keep them safe.
