Fauna: Tiger Salamander Tiger Salamander Ambystoma tigrinum Photo © 2006 by Richard Milton. Used by permission. According to Harding (Amphibians and Reptiles of the Great Lakes Region, 1997), the Tiger Salamander is found in many regions of the US, including much of the Great Plains, Midwest, and Atlantic coastal plain. Adults can be as long as a foot and captive specimens have lived twenty years. They spend most of their time underground in burrows they sometimes dig themselves, and emerge primarily at night during the spring and, to a lesser extent, in the fall.
