Where would you find animals with adaptaions to prevent water loss?

Answer 1

Exothermic- They absorb heat energy from their surroundings, meaning they don't have to eat as much as exothermic animals (mammals & birds). The heat allows their enzymes to function as they should and so that their bodily systems can be carried out (digestion, respiration etc)

Skin- They can 'breathe' through their skin, which means they can respire underwater. It also produces a mucus which helps retain moisture on the skin surface and so that chemicals and less likely to get onto the skin and burn it.

Mouth- Wide so that they can consume any prey that they can overpower and fit in their mouth.

The skin in the mouth of some amphibians works the same way as their skin and allows them to respire (You can see this when they allow air flow - it looks like they're breathing normally but in their throat)
Long powerful legs that allow it to jump and swim very well.

Streamlined body shaped for swimming.

Eyes that bulge out for increased angles of vision and are able to see underwater.

Answer 2

Well, amphibians such as the dart frog have extremely poisonous skin and although they are ever so tiny, it is strong enough to kill, or fatally harm, a fully grown human.

Nature has provided some crafty little defense mechanisms for amphibians to protect themselves against predators. While amphibians may not have special weapons like claws or sharp teeth to defend themselves, they do have slippery, quick moving bodies and a very shy, quiet nature. This may not seem like much of a defense, but don't be fooled. These are beautiful, resiliant creatures that have survived a very long time on this planet.As another form of protection, many amphibians don't show themselves in the light of day. They also have other survival tricks involving an attribute known as Coloration. There are several types:

• Flash Coloration
• Warning Coloration
• Protective Coloration

Flash Coloration is different fromWarning Coloration, because it is not seen until the amphibian is under attack. Their bright colors often times distract and confuse predators, thus help the amphibians escape. Changing skin coloration is employed by frogs, toads, and some salamanders

Warning Coloration is the opposite ofProtective Coloration. Bright colors on the upper surface of the skin usually mean the amphibian has quite poisonous skin.

Predators who attack a brightly colored amphibian quickly learn to avoid similar-looking ones in the future.Protective Coloration is important to many amphibians, a large number of which are green, brown, or gray colors that are common in nature. These color patterns act as camouflage, helping amphibians blend in with their surroundings.

Answer 3

Your question is the wrong way around. As life originated in water, amphibians evolved adaptations to live on land.

Answer 4

They hibernate when cold and estivate when too warm.

Answer 5
