Larval tiger salamanders Similar to Necturus sp., with external gills, gill slits, and a long caudal fin
Different in that tiger salamanders can undergo complete metamorphosis to transition to a terrestrial habitat and have 5 digits on their hindlimbs instead of 4
Some may retain their larval characteristics and still reach sexual maturity, a phenomenon called neoteny
