(Similarly, the salamander in [[heraldry]] is shown in flames, but is otherwise depicted as a generic lizard.) Early travelers to China were shown garments which, or so they were told, had been woven of wool from the salamander: the cloth was completely unharmed by fire. The garments had actually been woven from asbestos. Later [[Paracelsus]] suggested that the salamander was the [[elemental]] of [[fire (classical element)|fire]].<br /> <br /> These myths originate in Europe from the fire salamander, &#039;&#039;Salamandra salamandra&#039;&#039;, which hibernates in and under rotting logs. When logs were brought indoors and put on the fire, the animals mysteriously appeared from the flames.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Wikipedia (2005). &#039;&#039;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander Salamander].&#039;&#039; Retrieved Nov 18 2005</div>
