Amphibians

Amphibians are a fascinating group of cold-blooded vertebrates that live dual lives — part on land and part in water. This unique class of animals includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. They are known for their smooth, moist skin (unlike reptiles), and their life cycle often begins in water as tadpoles before transforming into air-breathing adults.

Amphibians play a vital role in ecosystems by controlling insect populations and serving as food for larger animals. They are also considered environmental indicators, meaning their health reflects the health of their environment.

On this page, you’ll discover detailed profiles of various amphibian species, their habitats, diets, unique adaptations, and more. Whether you’re curious about the colorful poison dart frog or the secretive axolotl, dive in to learn everything about these remarkable creatures.
