Land Pike
Land pikes are American amphibians with naked skin, limbs, and a tail. The amphibian must be located in the Americas, otherwise it isn't a Land Pike. Examples of land pikes are axolotls, menopomes, and hellbenders. [1]
Etymology
The origin of the name is unknown, but most likely the name came from the fact that some axolotls, menopomes, and hellbenders look like pikes. Just compare these amphibians and pikes to one another using the images below.
Habitat
Land pikes live all around America, near streams, river, or any other source of fresh water.
For example Axolotls live in central Mexico and the are currently an endangered species. [2]
