Amphibians

            In the world there are many different species that belong to a certain group. We would call it classification of the various types of vertebrates. These groups would be mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and amphibians. Amphibians are unique creatures that start life out in the water, and then migrate to land. Every 9/10 amphibians are frogs and toads. It is also proven that amphibian’s skin help fight illnesses. Amphibians are predators, but also predation. They prefer food that is still alive or has a pulse. Toads walk and frogs jump to move. In addition, toads hibernate in the winter like bears and frogs only see black or white.

            Amphibians are reliant on water because their skin leaks due to their respiration. They breathe through their skin so it must stay moist. Also, amphibians need water to lay their eggs because they are not hard shells. Water is also a temporary habitat for them. The final reason is to cool their bodies off because they are ectothermic, meaning their temperature varies with its environment. Water is an important factor in an amphibian’s life, which is why the water should not be contaminated. The environment needs water to function and that is a fact. Bad water can cause amphibians to be harmed with diseases, not having a habitat to come to, not being able to respire, and eventually becoming extinct can harm the amphibians.
