They are amphibians, being cold-blooded, like frogs and snakes. They don't "hibernate" like bears, but go into a dormat stage as the weather cools. In tropical climates they do not, because their blood stays warms.

Salamanders hibernate- Bears dont- bears just sleep. Hibernation means that the animal needs to drop its body down to at least right above freezing. If a bear did that, they would die. Salamanders are cold blooded- they find a nice underground den- or dig one themselves, and sleep it away. Their body temp is what the surrounding temp is. If they dig deep enough, the ground will not be frozen. Some salamanders even group together to conserve some of their little body heat to stay warmer.
Salamanders are too small to go long distances- some don't even leave a 10ft by 10 ft area their whole lives.

Salamanders hibernate but not exactly like bears. All they do is they find a good, warm log or leaf and climb under it.

They hibernate in logs and under logs and leaves especially. The Fire Salamander gets it's name because people who stored wood outside would burn firewood in the winter and out would come sleepy salamanders rudely awakened by the fire!
