The North African fire salamander (Salamandra algira) is a species of salamander in the family Salamandridae found in Algeria, Morocco, Ceuta, and possibly Tunisia.
Its habitat is typically the floor of moist forests of oak and cedar where it hides under roots and stones.
However, in the Tingitana region, the young seem to obtain their nourishment, at least in part from the female, in the form of secreted fluids and are considered viviparous.
[1] Although locally common in places, the North African fire salamander is rare in others and has a fragmented distribution range.
Other threats include the channelling of the forest streams for irrigation, overgrazing by livestock, and collection of the salamanders for the pet trade.
