During the late winter and early spring, salamanders breed in this and other ponds at Arabia Mountain, including the frog pond at the Nature Center. The Nature Preserve has two species of salamanders, the spotted salamander and the marbled salamander. During breeding, the female salamander extrudes a colorless gelatinous mass filled with dozens of eggs. The egg mass expands as it is extruded. The male salamander then fertilizes the egg mass. Please don’t touch an egg mass as it contains nature’s next generation of salamanders.
