THE LIFE OF AMPHIBIANS
Amphibians are a special group of animals that can live both in
water and on land. They are cold-blooded and have smooth,
moist skin. Amphibians start their lives as eggs in water, and when
they hatch, they are often in a larval stage called a tadpole.
Tadpoles have gills for breathing underwater. As they grow, they
undergo a transformation called metamorphosis and develop
lungs for breathing air.

Frogs, toads, and salamanders are examples of amphibians. Frogs are known for
their jumping ability and unique croaking sounds. Toads have warty skin that
helps them stay moist, while salamanders often have bright colors to warn
predators.

Amphibians are important to the environment. They help control insect


populations and are indicators of a healthy ecosystem.
