Salamanders are nocturnal and come out from their hiding places during moist nights to hunt for prey. Most species eat large amounts of invertebrates such as worms, insects and snails. A few species, like spring and red salamanders, will even eat other salamanders. Salamanders are equally important as food for many other animals, such as raccoons, opossums, bears, mink, river otter, frogs and snakes. In some places they are the most abundant vertebrate animals in the forest.
Dusky salamanders are small but robust salamanders with 14 grooves on their body and hind limbs that are larger than the front limbs. They have a knife-like tail that is less than half the body length. The upper body is brown or reddish brown to gray or olive, with slightly darker markings on the top and sides.
