Why do frogs lay eggs in a pond?
Tadpoles are larval amphibians who prefer clean water. Tadpoles are predominantly herbivorous.Their diet mainly consists of algae and other greens such as boiled lettuce. They prefer algae when they are in their natural habitat, but each other green leafy vegetables when they are in captivity.
What makes an amphibian distinctive?
an amphibian is an amphibian because it don't have a home on land or sea, instead it lives were ever it wants. for example a frog is an amphibian because it lives on land and sea, as a tadpole it lives in the water but as a frog it can live ether one.
How do amphibians eggs fertilized?
Eggs are not always fertilized in water, some eggs are laid on land. Most frogs lay their eggs in the water indeed and then the male fertilizes them by spraying his sperm over the egg mass.
It matters how you define smart. They get there food do they not? They find themselves shelter. They also have quite a personallity, coming frome someone who has had many toads as pets. They have fear just as humans do. As a toad owner i happen to know how to tell the diferennce between feamale and male toads and have found they do not get along. But also two toads of the same gender may be friends or they may have themselves a enemy toad. Even though they are small they are smary anough to have all those feelings just like humans.

What is the economic importance of amphibians?
Primarily as restaurant fare. The finest grade of frog legs come from the Persian Gulf, and are an expensive item in upscale restaurants. Lower grades of frog legs from France and the American south, are popular "roadhouse" restaurant fare.
What is the defense of the axolotl?

Are mammals born alive or in a egg?
Alive
**********************
Most mammals are born fully formed [infant version of the adults] and do not hatch from eggs.
Most mammals are born alive.
There are two egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidna are both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes.They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.
There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
What fish can go into the tank with an axolotl?
They like a bit of old pipe so you can make a little tunnel for them to hide in.
Is an axolotl a fish or an amphibian?

Introduction to Axolotls
The name axolotl comes from the Aztec language. The most commonly translation is "water-dog" (from "atl" for water, and "xolotl," which can also mean dog). The Axolotl is very unique. The axolotl is a type of salamander, native to Mexico. It's scientific name is Ambystoma mexicanum.
The common pet or laboratory Axolotl refers exclusively to Ambystoma Mexicanum, although in Mexico the term Axolotl is used in reference to several species of Ambystoma, and is considered an edible food source.
The Axolotl is neoteric, meaning that it doesn't routinely undergo metamorphosis from the larval to adult form, as happens with most other salamanders. Instead, the larval form (with gills) becomes sexually mature and reproduces, maintaining a strictly aquatic life style. Under some circumstances, the Axolotl can undergo metamorphosis into a terrestrial from, although this can be stressful on the animal. The Axolotl has amazing regenerative abilities- if injured, even to the point of losing a body part, the Axolotl will heal readily and even regenerate lost parts usually within 8 to 10 weeks. Because Axolotls have the ability to regenerate lost body parts, axolotls are probably one of the most scientifically studied for this reason.
They are fairly hardy creatures that can be expected to live up to 12-15 years with attention to proper care, particularly with respect to water quality. Can grow up to 12 inches. Weight is from 2 to 8 oz. Their skin and gills are very sensitive and quite soft, so handling is not recommended any more than is necessary. Because they can exchange air through moist skin, they can survive outside of water for short periods, as long as their skin is not allowed to dry out.
Juvenile axolotls can be cannibalistic towards each other, so they are best raised in separate enclosures. Adults can potentially be housed together but watch for cannibalistic tendencies. Of course, if a body part gets bitten off by a tank mate, an axolotl can regenerate it over time.
Axolotls are unique and easy to keep. They can live for up to 15 years and make an excellent pets and companions. Axolotls do not bite and have no claws.

How can you tell the difference between a reptile and an amphibian?
because they are cold blooded . && they dont give live birth
Actually, although many reptiles lay eggs, many give live birth instead.
The ones with live births usually care for their young while often the egg-layers do not, but this isn't a firm rule. Lists can be found online, often under "eggs."
Some could be, it depends on which specific amphibian you're talking about.
I would assume most amphibians are carnivores. I read that all frogs are carnivores, and frog species take up most of the amphibian population.
What is the difference between the skin of amphibians and reptiles?
An amphibian is a cold blooded animal that breathes through aquatic gills. An insect is a small arthropod animal that has 6 legs and most have wings.
Where do amphibians live most of their lives?
Seeing that they're amphibians and babies I would put a safe bet on the water. On land and being so small they don't stand a chance between bigger predators. At least in the water they can swim and hide
How do scientists explain the decline of many different kinds of amphibians?
Amphibians are especially vulnerable to small changes in the biosphere. It is likely that climate change is the culprit in the disappearance of amphibians.
Are amphibians a type of mammal?
No. There are no amphibians that are mammals. Amphibians are the frogs, toads, salamanders and newts plus their kind. And none of them are mammals. Not all vertebrates are mammals, though all mammals are vertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, and apes and whales are mammals and are vertebrates. But there are many vertebrates that are not mammals. Fish are vertebrates, and they are not mammals.
Well my axolotl is most active during the night so she sleep between sunrise to sunset
Axolotls excrete only half of their nitrogenous wastes as weak urine. The rest is excreted through their gills.
Where are the nostrils located on a frog?
Sometimes just nostrils, but often nares. The term 'nares' is more common in tadpoles.
Do amphibians lay hard shelled eggs?
Well, sort of.... They start out as little black dots in a jelly-like egg that is usually in a body of water. Then, they hatch into tadpoles. They tadpoles metamorphose into toads after a few weeks
What is the meaning of amphibian?
cold-blooded vertebrate typically living on land but breeding in water; aquatic larvae undergo metamorphosis into adult form
amphi means double, and bios means life, so double life.
Amphi, meaning double; bios, meaning life. Amphibians live a "double life" of tadpole and then the adult.
An amphibian is an animal that can live on land or water. Some examples of amphibians are frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders.
1. A cold-blooded, smooth-skinned vertebrate of the class Amphibia, such as a frog or salamander, that characteristically hatches as an aquatic larva with gills. The larva then transforms into an adult having air-breathing lungs.
2. An animal capable of living both on land and in water.
3. An aircraft that can take off and land on either land or water.
4. A tracked or wheeled vehicle that can operate both on land and in water.
