Amphibians
These cold-blooded vertebrate animals belong to the class Amphibia including over 6,200 species in three groups: caecilians (order Gymnophiona), frogs and toads (order Anura) and salamanders (order Caudata). Amphibians can live both in land and water.

Do female gray tree frogs lay their eggs in water?
It depends on the species.
Many species of frogs lay their eggs in water, but not all do e.g. the Corroboree frog.
Also, frogs of the genus Pristimantis lay their eggs on land, where they do not undergo a tadpole stage, hatching as fully metamorphosed baby frogs. 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.

How are amphibians different from other vertebrates?
The main differences are:
1. Mammals are warm-blooded; amphibians are cold-blooded.
2. Amphibians lay eggs; mammals (except for the monotremes) give live birth.
3. Amphibians are born with gills; mammals have only lungs for their entire lives.
4. Mammals feed their young with milk; amphibians do not.
5. Mammals have fur and (comparatively) dry skin; amphibians have slimy skin and no fur.
6. Amphibians have external reproduction and leave the young; mammals have internal reproduction, and one or both parents take care of the young until they grow old enough to live independently.
There are huge differences between mammals and amphibians in many ways based on their characteristics.
Firstly, they differ from each other based on their body skin. Mammals have a layer of skin (thickness of the fat for each species differs based on the climate and weather) which is coated by fur or hair, whereas amphibians have bare and moist skin.
Mammals' major habitat is land, although some groups of mammals live in the water, for instance whale ps, Dolphins, narwhals and and manatees. Amphibians have some special characteristics which allow them to stay both in land and in water. Most amphibians will lay eggs in water and young will live in water for some time before they come up to land.
All mammals are warm-blooded, while all amphibians are cold-blooded.
Moreover, the most important characteristics of a mammal is giving birth to the young, with the exception of the platypus and echidna. Most - though not all - species of amphibians lay eggs.
the diference is that mammals have hairy or fury skin when amphibians have smooth skin
All the amphibians are cold blooded.The does not live birth bit give the eggs which are jelly like.No hairs but skin is moist and rough with several glands.
mammals body temperature stays the same most of the time unless you are sick. amphibians temperature differs depending on the temperature outside.

What are the different modes of reproduction of plants and animals?
Asexual - when an individual is grown up from the other organism and it splits from the mother organism (eg: binary fission in bacteria, or budding in plants) : new organism is identical to its parent.
The Colorado River Toad, Bufo alvarius, is the toad whose poison is most commonly used as an intoxicant (though the practice of using any toad venom for this purpose is rare) . Several other species of toad, such as Bufo marinus, contain one of the same active chemicals, bufotenin. Nevertheless, the toad is not usually licked. Rather, the poison is "milked" from the venom gland and then vaporized. It should be noted that this procedure is very dangerous and should not be attempted. Additionally, the experience often has severe physical side effects.
No toads do not sting. They don't have stingers in their bodies. Some toads are poisonous and their poison might feel like a sting if you touch them, However further research is needed to see if this is true.
Yes they do. I have a toad and he croaks a pretty fair amount. Toads usually croak for mating reasons - the male usually croaks more than the female whereas the female is usually responding to a male's call.
What are the organs for movement of an amphibian?
Back and Front legs. I might want to mention that frogs and toads only hop when in danger; naturally they walk.
Like all tetrapods, amphibians use muscles to move. They can walk with their legs and swim with the tail.
Only when threatened and it is not normally noticeable to the human nose.
Are amphibians the most intelligent of all groups of animals?
They are dumb in comparison to humans, but they get over the average, seeing as there exists so many invertebrates.
