Amphibians are frogs, toads, salamanders, newts and other cold blooded animals that change from breathing water as a juvenile to breathing air as an adult.

Amphibians lay their eggs in water, as their fish ancestors did.

Some examples:
  • Frogs. All sorts!
  • Toads. Many types.
  • Newts/Salamanders. Many types, including axolotls.
  • Caecilians. They look like earthworms or snakes, but they are not!
