It lives only in the Red River Mississippi River Red River and adjacent drainage systems. ref Conant, Roger. 1975. A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America, 2nd edition. Houghton Mifflin. Boston. ref Description It is much different in appearance from the Common Mudpuppy common mudpuppy which is gray to brown, with round blue black spots. The Red River mudpuppy is light yellowish brown with a white stripe on either side of the middorsal area. ref Conant, Roger. 1975. A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America, 2nd edition. Houghton Mifflin. Boston. ref Diet and behavior It eats mainly small underwater animals. Its feathery gills mean that it can only breathe underwater not on land. It and many other mudpuppies can still go on land, but not for a very long time. They only go on land if the water is too dirty so they can find cleaner water in another part of the river. History The Red River Mudpuppy was proposed as a separate species from the common mudpuppy by Collins in 1991 and 1997, but supporting data was lacking.

External gills are the gills of an animal, most typically an amphibian, that are exposed to the environment, rather than set inside the pharynx and covered by gill slits , as they are in most fishes . Instead, the respiratory organs are set on a frill of stalks protruding from the sides of an animals head. Image Axolotl Portrait.jpg thumb right 200px Axolotl has 3 pairs of external gills This type of gill is most commonly observed on the aquatic larva of most species of salamanders , lungfish , and bichir s which have only one large pair , and are retained by neotenic adult salamanders and some species of adult lungfish. They are present on non transforming salamander species such as the mudpuppy , as well as most members of the Proteidae and Sirenidae families, which naturally never metamorphose into an air breathing form. The embryos of frogs and caecilians also develop external gills at some point in their development, though these are either resorbed before or disappear shortly after hatching. Fossils of the distant relatives of modern amphibians, such as Branchiosaurus and Apateon , also show evidence of external gills. The external gills commonly consist of a single stalk rami protruding from a gill arch behind the head of the animal, above an associated gill slit. The stalk usually contains muscle tissue, and may be moved by the animal as a free appendage, in order to stir up stagnant water. The stalk is lined by many thinly walled filaments fimbriae , containing the majority of blood vessels used in gas exchange. Animals usually have one external gill originating on each gill arch except the hyoid , which leads to there being three pairs of external gills in salamanders, and four in the gilled larvae of lungfish.
