Amphibians like this red-eyed tree frog start their life as a tadpole living under the water, but later develop lungs to move around on land.

Amphibian Facts

Amphibians are cold-blooded which means the temperature of their body changes when the temperture of the air or water around them changes.

Amphibians are vertebrates like mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone.

Amphibians can live on land and in the water.

When they are young, most amphibians live in the water and breathe air using gills like a fish.

As they grow, most amphibians spend more time on land because they breathe air with their lungs like mammals, reptiles and birds.

Amphibians do not go far from the water. They must keep their skin moist.

There are many species of amphibians. Toads, frogs, salamanders, caecilians, and newts are some of the categories of amphibian species.

Frog and toad babies are called tadpoles. Tadpoles live underwater and breathe with their gills until their lungs form.

Salamander and newt babies are called larva. Larva live underwater until their lungs develop.

Amphibians that live in a cold climate hibernates in the winter.

During hibernation, a frog breathes through only their skin.

Frogs in hibernation can live in temperatures as cold as 21 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius).

Toads and frogs make croaking sounds to attract their mate.

Most amphibians have webbed feet so they can easily swim in the water, even after they develop lungs and spend more time on land.

Some amphibians have are poisonous. The poison arrow frog is quite poisonous to people. Only .035 ounces (1 gram) of poison from them would kill up to 100,000 people.

The smallest amphibian is the Cuban Tree Frog which only grows to one-half an inch long (12 mm).

The largest amphibian is the Japanese and Chinese Giant Salamander, which grows to 5 to 6 feet in length (1.5 to 1.8 meters).

This frog egg is developing into a tiny tadpole

The tadpole now is starting to grow legs and is beginning to develop lungs.

The tadpole now has 4 legs, developed eyes and almost fully developed lungs

The tadpole is now a fully developed adult frog

The word amphibian means two-lives. Amphibians spend their lives in the water and on land.

All amphibians begin their life in water with gills and tails. As they grow, they develop lungs and legs for their life on land.

Amphibians are cold-blooded, which means that they are the same temperature as the air or water around them.
