Land pikes are American amphibians with naked skin, limbs, and a tail. Examples of land pikes are axolotls, menopomes, and hellbenders. [1]

Etymology

edit

The origin of the name is unknown, but most likely the name came from the fact that some axolotls, menopomes, and hellbenders look like pikes. Just compare amphibians and pikes to one another using pictures you can find online.

Habitat

edit

Land pikes live all around America, near streams, river, or any other source of fresh water.

For example Axolotls live in central Mexico and they are currently an endangered species. [2]

Hellbenders only live in the mountains and foot hills of eastern United States. They once lived in the rivers of the Ozark mountains, Appalachian mountains, and throughout the Ohio River valley. [3]
