Eastern Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) is the largest species of mole salamander. It has declined severely in much of its range due to development and habitat loss. They breed in late winter or very early spring, usually in fishless coastal plain ponds (Conant & Collins, 1998; Maryland DNR site). Eastern Tiger Salamanders are currently found only on the eastern shore. On the western shore there were historic populations in Anne Arundel and Charles County. The Charles County population was located near La Plata but it was destroyed to make a golf course in 1963. Currently the only counties with breeding populations of Eastern Tiger Salamanders are Kent and Caroline. This species is considered state endangered in Maryland, with a rank of S2 (state rare).
