 | | Amphibian internal anatomy is similar to that of other vertebrates. | | | Amphibians are cold-blooded, or more correctly, ectotherms—that is, they are not able to generate their own body heat. | | | Adult amphibians typically have lungs, rather than gills, for breathing oxygen, but some water-dwelling species have both lungs and gills, and others obtain all the oxygen they need to survive through their permeable skin. |

| | Amphibian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Amphibians developed with the characteristics of pharyngeal slits/gills, a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, and a post-anal tail at different stages of their life. | | | Wikibooks Dichotomous Key has more about this subject: | | | Several hundred frog species in adaptive radiations (e.g., Eleutherodactylus, the Pacific Platymantines, the Australo-Papuan microhylids, and many other tropical frogs), however, do not need any water whatsoever. |

| | These variations are the results of a wide scope of evolution, however, all amphibians evolved from a common ancestor, and share a general life cycle, despite discrepancies among specific species or genera. | | | Although found mostly in temperate zones of the world, caudates have evolved some amazing anatomical characteristics, including the elongate bodies of amphiuma and sirens, the mostly aquatic lifestyles of some newts and salamanders, the arboreal habits of the neotropical species, obligate and facultative neoteny, and more. | | | Amphibians: The World of Frogs, Toads, Salamanders and Newts. |

| | Life History and Ecology of the Amphibia |
| | Most amphibians have soft skin which easily absorbs water. | | | Young amphibians, like the larval frog or tadpole pictured here, spend their early years in the water, breathing through gills in the side of their head in much the same way as fish do. | | | Amphibians, like the proverbial "canary in a coal mine," may be among the first organisms to suffer from the effects of global pollution and climate change -- providing an early warning of environmental degradation. |

| | Amphibians are cold-blooded; their body temperature depends on the temperature of their environment. | | | There are three groups (orders) of living amphibians: newts and salamanders (urodeles); frogs and toads (anurans); and caecilians (the worm-like gymnophiones). | | | Toads are amphibians with poison glands and usually warty skin. |

| | The word amphibian comes from the Greek amphi, meaning "both," and bios, meaning "life." It describes cold-blooded animals with backbones that pass their lives both in fresh water and on land. | | | The most commonly known amphibians are frogs, toads, and salamanders. | | | Although most have changed very little since they first began to breathe on land, some of the early amphibians were the ancestors of today's reptiles, birds, and mammals. |
