∙ 11y agoNo. Those that do lay eggs usually lay them in water because their eggs lack a hard shell, and otherwise the developing young would dry out.
However, it depends on the species. For example, the Corroboree frog does not lay eggs in the water. 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.

When two lions mate why do the cubs look different to each other?
The sperms and the eggs within the parents might get different genes from each other because two parents have two (or more) genes for each trait and give one each and the child ends up with two- one from each parent. The eggs/sperms could get a different of the genes from either parent. In addition often times a female will be impregnated by two different males within the same batch of eggs, so all of the cubs may not have the same father.

What makes amphibians different from all other vertebrates?
