Hillis's dwarf salamander (Eurycea hillisi) is a species of salamander native to the southern region of the United States of America. First observed in 2012, E. hillisi, like most other amphibians, abides principally in wetlands and swamps, or habitats close to a water source, such as a pond or river. According to the IUCN red list, E. hillisi is a species of "least concern." After approximately one year, the species reaches maturity, and breeds during the winter months.
