Native to much of the USA, the world´s stickiest salamander is the northern slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosus), which is named after the glue-like mucus that its skin secretes. This substance is so sticky that if almost any predator tries to bite the salamander, its mucus effectively seals the predator´s mouth shut.
