Although the Mudpuppy has gills it also has lungs allowing it to breathe at the surface when oxygen levels in the water are insufficient!

All frogs and most salamanders have 4 toes on the forefeet, 5 on the hind feet; some salamanders have fewer toes (4 on the hind feet in four-toed salamanders and the mudpuppy in Canada) or lack limbs entirely (some species beyond Canada).
