He confirmed the results by comparing the electrical signals from his silicon retina to the electrical signals produced by a salamander eye while the two retinas were looking at the same image.

These most often possess two of each chromosome from the Jefferson salamander and one of each chromosome from the Blue-spotted salamander, resulting in a LJJ genotype ( also called a Tremblay's Salamander.

A number of fossil cryptobranchids have been found but there are only three living species, the Chinese giant salamander ( Andrias davidianus ), the Japanese giant salamander ( Andrias japonicus ) and the hellbender ( Cryptobranchus alleganiensis ) from North America.
