Which group of fishes are most closely related to the ancestral amphibians?
The group of fishes most closely related to ancestral amphibians are the lobe-finned fishes, which include the coelacanths and lungfishes. These fishes share certain characteristics with amphibians, such as limbs with digits and lungs or lung-like structures, indicating a close evolutionary relationship.
Which country has the most amphibian species?
The country with the most frogs is South America and ur butt!
How many limbs do amphibians have?
Most amphibians have four limbs. However, some species have lost limbs or adapted to different environments, leading to variations in the number of limbs among different amphibian species.
Where in an amphibian would ciliated epithelium cells be found?
Ciliated epithelium cells in amphibians are typically found in areas of the respiratory tract and parts of the reproductive system. They help in moving mucus and particles, aiding in breathing and reproduction.
Amphibians play a crucial role in the ecosystem as both predator and prey species, helping to maintain ecological balance. They also serve as bioindicators, being sensitive to changes in their environment, making them helpful in monitoring ecosystem health. Additionally, amphibians are a source of great scientific interest for studying topics such as evolution, physiology, and disease resistance.
What are some of the major amphibian characteristics that the frog exhibits?
it can breath through its skin and lungs. Also had webbed feet
Frogs exhibit all of the major characteristics of the amphibian class of animal: they are cold-blooded, they begin by breathing through gills (in water) and then develop lungs to accommodate their life on land, and as mature adults they are equally at home on land or in water. "Amphibian" literally means "two lives", and frogs demonstrate this duality very evidently. some frogs spend their entire lives in trees, they are found in many diverse ecosystems and are one of the first signs that an ecosystem is imbalanced, highly sensitive to pollutants because it breathes through its skin
Do amphibians feed their young with milk?
No, amphibians do not feed their young with milk. Some amphibians lay eggs that the young, called tadpoles, hatch from and then develop on their own without parental care.
Why do amphibians need moist skin?
Amphibians need moist skin to be able to easily adapt to dry land or the water. This is because an amphibian's respiratory system must be able to adapt to either condition and thin, moist skin makes this easier.
What is the fastest amphibian?
The worlds fastest amphibian currently known is the Seastar.
237 kt cruise, over 2000 fpm with a Walter 601D 724 hp turbine.
There is only one known plane that is currently owned by a Swede.
Many reptiles and birds, noteably storks and herons and such. Insects will occasionally have a go at them as well, especially the larvae of dragonflies will hunt tadpoles and salamander larvae.
How is an amphibians internal skeleton important to its survival?
An amphibian's internal skeleton is important to its survival for a couple reasons. It helps some amphibians escape quickly from danger, and it can help them quickly catch their prey for food.
Do amphibians lay eggs with a soft shell?
Yes, amphibians eggs have no outer coating, although they have a jelly like casing which can protect it.
Are amphibian fertilized inside the females body?
Most amphibians have external fertilization, so outside the body.
Are all animals that hatch from eggs called amphibians?
No, not all animals that hatch from eggs are considered amphibians. Amphibians are a specific group of vertebrates that include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts.Other animals that hatch from eggs could be reptiles (like snakes or turtles) or birds.
What is the scientific name for the Mexican axolotl?
The scientific name for the Mexican axolotl is Ambystoma mexicanum.
How long have amphibians lived on earth?
Amphibians have existed on Earth for over 300 million years. They are one of the oldest vertebrate groups, with their ancestors dating back to the Devonian period.
An Amphibian is among the first of the Tetrapoda taxon, they include Apoda; Caecilians and Lissamphibia, Urodela, which are the salamanders, and Anura, which are frogs and toads. They have a latteral line system but only in the young. Their eggs do not have an outer casing. Most amphibians do not have nares, or nose openings, but instead breathe through their skin, due to capullaries on the skin. Anurans have a Tympanum, which is an external ear drum.
What amphibian does not lay eggs?
There are some species of frog which give birth to live young, rather than laying eggs, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides. There are also some salamanders which give birth to young which are either larvae, or already metamorphosed. Caecilians are a type of amphibian, rather like a worm, which give birth to fully metamorphosed young.
I had one toad on a post outside my front door and now there are three. They cuddle next to each other and seem to prefer to stay in one place. Sometimes I still see only one but the other two naturally reappear. The first toad isnt afraid of me getting close others back away. They seem content to stay the whole summer outside my door. They're actually kinda cute
Why do amphibians hibernate or estivate?
Amphibians living in very cold places hibernate during winter. This keeps their bodies inactivate since they live on stored food in their abdomen. Amphibians living in hot places estivate to keep their bodies inactivate. When the conditions in their environment become favorable, they come out from their resting places.

What animals are like the Axolotl?
Axolotls are also referred to as "Mexican walking fish" in Australia and New Zealand, but they are not fish. They are amphibians, specifically, salamanders. They are native to the lakes of the Mexican basin underneath and around Mexico City. The axolotl differs from normal amphibians in that the larva (the equivalent of a tadpole in frogs) never undergoes full metamorphosis to adult form. It keeps its gills and fins, and it doesn't develop the protruding eyes, eyelids and characteristics of other adult salamanders. Unlike other amphibians, it needs to remain under water. It does have basic lungs, but breathing is done almost completely through its gills, and partially through its skin as well.
Jelly-coated eggs eggs eg. frogspawn. Most amphibians lay their eggs in water.
