How do salamanders reproduce?
Like frogs, salamanders reproduce by laying eggs. The eggs hatch into aquatic tadpoles, the larval stage, and eventually metamorphose into the adult amphibian stage, which typically lives mostly on land.
Where and how does offspring develop in frog?
They develop in water, with some exceptions. Some salamanders are live-bearing and some frogs have a larval stadium that develops inside the egg.
Which amphibians are totally aquatic?
Axolotls are totally aquatic. They basically look like the larval form of newts or salamanders. But they are hatched already in the adult the adult phase and do not metamorphose.
What is the point of amphibians of having gills and lungs?
Not all amphibians do, some salamanders are live-bearers and some frogs lack a larval stage, they leave their egg as a small frog. Most amphibians do have a larval stage with gills, some will never drop the gills (neonetism) and most frogs and some salamanders will develop lungs. Most salamanders dont have lungs and breathe through their skin. There is no specified reason for having gills and lungs at different stages of their life cycle; apparently it is a good strategy. If it wasn't, frogs would be extinct ;)

Are axolotls salamanders?
Yes, axolotls are a type of salamander. They belong to the species Ambystoma mexicanum and are known for their unique ability to regenerate lost body parts.

They are native to freshwater lakes in Mexico and are often kept as pets due to their distinctive appearance and fascinating biological traits.
