Caudates include newts and salamanders which have tails and resemble lizards in appearance. Caudate amphibians spend most of the year hidden to avoid the heat. They live under rocks and rotten logs or underground in damp crevices and burrows and typically emerge in autumn after the first soaking rain. Lassen’s lone newt species, the rough skinned newt, is the park’s most visible caudate. They move like a lizard in slow motion and are often observed in early spring crossing roads or trails on their way to breed in streams.
