Idaho giant salamanders share their cold mountain streams with the usual host of invertebrates, such as caddisfly, stonefly and mayfly larvae, and even crayfish, all of which the salamanders eat. They will also eat other stream-dwelling amphibians.
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.
