What is a amphipian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An Amphibian is among the first of the Tetrapoda taxon, they include Apoda; Caecilians and Lissamphibia, Urodela, which are the salamanders, and Anura, which are frogs and toads. They have a latteral line system but only in the young. Their eggs do not have an outer casing. Most amphibians do not have nares, or nose openings, but instead breathe through their skin, due to capullaries on the skin. Anurans have a Tympanum, which is an external ear drum.

What amphibian does not lay eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are some species of frog which give birth to live young, rather than laying eggs, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides. There are also some salamanders which give birth to young which are either larvae, or already metamorphosed. Caecilians are a type of amphibian, rather like a worm, which give birth to fully metamorphosed young.

Do toads have families?

Asked by Wiki User

I had one toad on a post outside my front door and now there are three. They cuddle next to each other and seem to prefer to stay in one place. Sometimes I still see only one but the other two naturally reappear. The first toad isnt afraid of me getting close others back away. They seem content to stay the whole summer outside my door. They're actually kinda cute

Are green tree frogs amphibians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Frogs have no green pigmentation in their skin at all. Like mammals, they are unable to produce green pigment. Mammals, reptiles and amphibians can only produce black and yellow-red pigment, and all colours and patterns on a frog's skin are the result of different combinations of these two pigments.

Frogs contain variations of the yellow-red pigment. Most species of frogs appear green because of the pattern of refraction of blue light by special cells in their skin blending in with this yellow pigment.

Why do amphibians hibernate or estivate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Amphibians living in very cold places hibernate during winter. This keeps their bodies inactivate since they live on stored food in their abdomen. Amphibians living in hot places estivate to keep their bodies inactivate. When the conditions in their environment become favorable, they come out from their resting places.

hope it might help you.....

What animals are like the Axolotl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Axolotls are also referred to as "Mexican walking fish" in Australia and New Zealand, but they are not fish. They are amphibians, specifically, salamanders. They are native to the lakes of the Mexican basin underneath and around Mexico City. The axolotl differs from normal amphibians in that the larva (the equivalent of a tadpole in frogs) never undergoes full metamorphosis to adult form. It keeps its gills and fins, and it doesn't develop the protruding eyes, eyelids and characteristics of other adult salamanders. Unlike other amphibians, it needs to remain under water. It does have basic lungs, but breathing is done almost completely through its gills, and partially through its skin as well.

Jelly-coated eggs eggs eg. frogspawn. Most amphibians lay their eggs in water.

Do amphibians have nervous system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes they do, invertebrates have small nervous systems, which consist of many small brains. Because of the anatomy of their nervous systems and the lack of neurons, they are thought to have limited cognitive capacity, and this means that they are likely to not be capable of emotions like we feel. This is why scientists are unsure whether or not or to what degree they feel pain.

They are kind of slimy and rubbery. What it feels like to be a tadpole, only a tadpole knows. If you want, you can try to imagine what it would be like.

How does the Mexican axolotl obtain nutrients?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once every few days, though naturally a bottom feeder an axie should be taught to hand-feed as this can prevent swallowing of gravel (though you should really makes sure it can't fit in his mouth anyway) and it should be cut into cubes less than a centimetre. He eats quickly and once he grips hold of his dinner, he won't let go! He swallows his food whole so should not be fed anything bigger than his mouth.

Most, but not all, species of frogs lay eggs in order to reproduce. Some species of frogs even give birth to live young, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides and other species found in the Andes and Central America.

What is the importance of amphibian skin?

User Avatar

Asked by Pizza202

Well it absorbs moisture and sunlight through its skin.

Example. A frog needs its skin to absorb moisture because if it doesn't get any moisture it will dry out and die.
