Range & habitat
The Pigeon Mountain Salamander (Plethodon petraeus) is a species of salamander only found on Pigeon Mountain, located in the northwestern region of the state of Georgia in the United States. This salamander lives on only a 17 kilometer strip of land on the eastern side of Pigeon Mountain, making it an endemic species to this location. Within this strip of land, P. petraeus is found in sparsely located caves and rocky outcrops. Despite the lack of abundance of these caves and outcrops, P. petraeus can be found in great numbers at these locations.
