The '''Korean salamander''' ('''''Hynobius leechii''''') is the most common species of [[salamander]] on the [[Korean peninsula]], and is also found in adjacent portions of [[China]] and on [[Jeju-do|Jeju Island]]. It typically lives on forested hills, and from time to time mass deaths occur in Korea when salamanders encounter man-made drainage structures.

It typically lives on forested hills, and from time to time mass deaths occur in Korea when salamanders encounter man-made drainage structures. This has prompted Korean government officials to execute a series of mass evacuations in heavily salamandered areas.
