Salamanders - Please Comment!
Appearance
Salamanders are large lizards of about eight feet in length, they have short legs designed for short sprints, but usually move along on their bellies at a slow pace. Their coloration is usually a mix of browns, reds, and greens. Their eyes are somewhat large and are able to see easily at night, both above and below the water. Salamanders also have suctions cups on their feet which allow them to scale most surfaces with ease. In defense, salamanders are able to mix chemicals within their bodies that allow them to breath a potent semi-fire.
Habitat
Salamanders live in river systems throughout A'el even penetrating as far north as the Shrieker caves, though very seldom. Salamanders have adapted to all manner of temperatures and climates as a result. Their body temperature and activity levels are carefully regulated depending on where they are at the time.
Life, Hierarchy and Breeding
From the moment they hatch Salamanders are immersed in river water. Their eggs are usually laid in clusters of eight to ten beneath the sediment of rivers. Many of these eggs are eaten during the six month gestation period, usually less than three are left when the hatching occurs and even then only one lizardling survives. The first one that hatches immediately proceeds to devour the closest and easiest food source, the remaining unhatched eggs.
After hatching young males will spend several months gorging on fish within the territory of the male that sired them. This male will protect any hatchlings within it's territory until they reach maturity at which point he will either drive them out or one of them will kill him and claim the territory for itself. The latter happens only very rarely. Once a young male finds a territory of it's own it will patrol it on a daily basis breeding with any females that pass through.
Young females after hatching also remain in the territory of the male that sired them for a time, fully protected and growing far more rapidly then their male counterparts. Once they reach maturity they will leave of their own volition and begin patrolling the various rivers. Upon entering the territory of another male they will breed with it and remain in that territory until they lay their eggs, at which point they will move on to the next territory and repeat the process.
Diet
Save for the cannibalism that occurs immediately after their hatching, Salamanders will not eat their own kind unless they absolutely must to survive. In most cases the fish in the rivers systems are plenteous enough to sustain the Salamanders population, when it lapses the Salamanders will proceeds to hunt on dry land usually by spitting fire at roosting birds. Regardless of the environmental situation Salamanders rarely live very long, there are a host of deadly predators both on the land, and in the water and despite it's ability to breath fire, the Salamander remains quite vulnerable.

My friend does that when she asks about the ittey-bittey details.
