Answer:
Fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is a kind of salamander, usually found in southern Europe, however also sometimes found in northern Africa and the Middle East. It's black and yellow (sometimes even orange) look give it a charming appeal. The yellow on their black bodies is a dominant trait, however many of these small salamanders have completely black bodies. The yellow on them can be a mix of spots and stripes, most likely trying to blend in with the environment. These little creatures can grow to be about 6-12 inches long at peak maturity. They can grow as old as 24 years old while kept in captivity, but only about 14 in the wild.
Fire salamander get their names from an ancient myth. They were believed to be born out of fires. However, as interesting as that sounds, this was untrue. The legend may have started because they hide under logs, and when people would take those logs for fires, the salamanders would run out from under the fire.
