It is endemic to the Ouachita Mountains in the United States, where it is only known from Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma (although specimens possibly from the same species have been taken from outside the park) as well as a small portion of extreme southwestern Arkansas. There is some doubt as to whether it is distinct from the northern slimy salamander (P. glutinosus). Its natural habitat is temperate forests.[1][2][3]

gollark: I don't exactly go around specifically trying to pick CIA-funded stuff to watch, so I am not sure what the point of this is.
gollark: > CIA funded the uk animal farm film... great? I've never watched it.
gollark: Sometimes I wonder if internet arguments about economic systems have any chance of leading to useful results, or whether they'll just be endless exchanges of "gotchas".
gollark: But yes, I'm not in the US and I watch... fictional TV stuff, mostly, for entertainment?
