THE FEEDING OF TWO Salamandra salamandra (Linnaeus, 1758) POPULATIONS FROM JIULUI GORGE NATIONAL PARK (ROMANIA)

In the year 2008, we analyzed the trophic spectrum of a total number of 83 Salamandra salamandra individuals, captured from two habitats, Chitu and Ursului Valley. The salamanders consumed 964 animal preys, the most important ones being the Anelida-Oligocheta, Gasteropoda and Arahnida-Araneida. In the stomach contents, beside invertebrates, we had also identified vegetal fragments, shed skin and minerals.
