Amphibians are reptile creatures that can live on land as well as water and they can adapt their body temperatures to a number of conditions and environments in order to increase their survival chances.
- Types
There are various types of amphibians living on the planet and the largest type is the Anura amphibian. These reptiles amount to around 4,000 in the world and the appearance of them comes across as quite frog-like without tails. They have approximately nine or fewer vertebrae. Another type of amphibian is the Caudata group, which accumulates to around 420 species including newts and salamanders. These types have long bodies with legs that are equal size as well as notable tails. Lastly, the Gymnophona group of amphibians have a worm-like appearance as they are practically blind and have no legs to help them move around.
- Where Can You Find Them?
As mentioned above, amphibians can survive in both wet and dry places; however, in most cases you are likely to see these creatures in or near a pond or stream. This being because the majority of them need to keep their skin moist in order to live. However, look around the area of a pond because some amphibians reside under rocks in a wet environment. For example, salamanders are known to wedge themselves under rocks that are in a moist area. Amphibians such as frogs tend to locate to logs that are full of bugs and insects. This is because they are the main food source for certain amphibians, so expect to see some hunting in these areas.
