¡@ ¡@ ¡@ ¡@ ¡@ ¡@ Hunting The night The eyes Reproduction The enemy

Foods of salamanders are mostly nocturnal diplopods and bugs. However, locusts, weevils and bees are also sometimes be eaten by salamanders, so we can probably now that salamanders do break their routines and even leave out for hunting.
Leftovers of plants are also found in salamander's stomach; it is because that moving targets are more attractive to salamanders. On the ground, leaves, sand and little rocks are to be swallowed during salamander's devouring their food. Sometimes leaves can also be unrecognized by salamanders as their prey and "attacked".
Hunting is extremely important to frogs; their prey must be alive, active and smaller than their open jaws. Frogs hide up and rest in caves, grass, and in tree or mud holes in the daytime, and go hunting during the nighttime in the open field. There are two prime ways that frogs use for hunting-attacking, and waiting. Toad is the master of waiting; it can stay in the same spot through whole night and wait until its food delivers itself. Raniidae switches its spot and searches for food more spontaneously.
¡@Toads like to wait under the light pole, and those bugs that fly to the light can be their big feasts.
