Tiger salamanders our reappearing in Maryland because female Tiger salamanders need fishless freshwater ponds that have a lot of sun light for there eggs. I know this because in the text it states“female Tiger salamanders need fishless freshwater ponds that have a lot of sunlight for their eggs. Too shallow, they dry out; too deep, and sun won’t get to the egg masses.” Another reason Tiger salamanders came back to Maryland is because in the text it also states” several seasonal wetland areas on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where extensive vegetation management over the past decade helped restore natural breeding habitats of these salamanders”. This is why the Tiger salamanders came back to Maryland.
