If we talk about regeneration, lizards may come to mind. In fact, limb regeneration is not uncommon in mollusks and arthropods; animals such as starfish, spiders, and crabs have the ability to regenerate broken limbs.

However, you may not know that among terrestrial vertebrates, it is the amphibian salamander that really has the ability to regenerate broken limbs.

If a salamander's tail, forelimb, hindlimb, or any part of its body is cut off, the salamander does not form a stump or scar, but replaces the lost part with an intact new part consisting of brand new muscles, nerves, bones, and other parts.

For more than two hundred years, scientists have been studying salamanders in order to be able to understand the wonders behind them, dreaming of being able to replicate these wonders in humans one day.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw this amphibian that likes to live in wet places. Salamanders resemble lizards and have a long, flat tail.

Salamanders have poor vision and rely mainly on their sense of smell, feeding on tadpoles, frogs, small fish and water fleas. If you like this amazing animal, follow the instructions below and try to draw the cute one step by step!
