What is study of amphibians?

Answer 1

Amphibians are creatures which spend part of their life in water and part of their life on dry land.

Amphibians are one of the groups of vertebrates, and are characterized by being cold blooded and having moist skin, through which they can also absorb oxygen. They include frogs, toads, newts, salamanders (including axolotls) and caecilians, which all start their lives as eggs. They hatch out as tadpoles which breathe through gills and a spiracle. As they grow, they develop lungs and legs, and are able to leave the water and walk on land, apart from axolotls.

Amphibians are members of the class Aviva sub phylum Vertebrate phylum Chordate's The class Amphibian includes frogs, toads, salamanders, newts and Cacilia's Amphibians are characterized by a glandular skin without external scales, by gills during development (and in adulthood in some), and by eggs that may have jelly coats but develop without formation of extra embryonic membranes such as the amnion. Most amphibians also have four limbs. Limbs and lungs are adaptations for life on land; the limbs evolved from the ancestral fishes' lobed fins. The scales and amenity egg evolved by reptiles are further adaptations for life on land and distinguish reptiles from amphibians. Amphibians, such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and Guamanian are coldblooded animals that metamorphose from a juvenile, vertebration form to an adult, airbrushing form. Typically, amphibians have four limbs. Unlike other land animals amenities amphibians lay eggs in water, as their fish ancestors did. Amphibians are superficially similar to reptiles. It is a coldblooded vertebrate (it has a backbone) e.g. frog, toad, newt.. A cold blooded animal that spends its life both on water and on land. A vertebrate,eg.frog

An amphibian is a vertebrate, which has a backbone. It lives both on land and in the water. (like frogs, turtles, alligator) an amphibian is an animal that lives near the water such as a frog amphibians are animals that breath from their lungs amphibians are animals that are cold blooded and can only survive in wet condition and moist conditions.

Answer 2

The study of amphibians is called herpetology. Herpetology also includes the study of reptiles.

More specifically the study of amphibians (frogs, salamanders, caecilians) is called batrachology.

Answer 3

An amphibian is a creature that is born as a fish, but then as it grows up, it moves to the land.

A frog, for example. It is born as a tadpole, then as it gets older, it loses its gills and is replaced for lungs and becomes a frog.

Additional answer

A frog does not start off as a fish and then become a frog. A fish is always a fish and a frog is always a frog. OK, at different stages they may have similar features but a frog (or its early form - a tadpole) has never been a fish.

Answer 4

Amphibians are the animals belonging to class Amphibia . They are characterized by four limbs for terrestrial locomotion , moveable head and snap and grab jaw mechanism . The aforesaid characters are symplesiomorphies ( Ancestral characters )
Practically they may be distinguished by tetrapodes with naked slimy skin .
Name of class (amphi+bia , dual life ) is misleading character as many animals spend part of life in water and part on land as tortoises , crocodiles etc.

Answer 5

The study of amphibians is known as herpetology. It involves researching and studying the Biology, behavior, ecology, and conservation of amphibians, which includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Herpetologists also study the importance of amphibians in their ecosystems and their interactions with other organisms.

Answer 6

Herpetology is the study of reptile and amphibians.

Answer 7

Amphibians are the animals that can live on land as well as in water
