Hida salamander
The Hida salamander or Hondo salamander (Hynobius kimurae) is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae, the Asiatic salamanders. It is endemic to central and western Honshu, Japan.[2] It lives in deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests, where it breeds in streams.[1] These salamanders typically spawn from February to April, leading some to metamorphose in late September while others wait for the following year to do so after winter is over.[3]
