    Amazing Amphibians: Amphibians Are An Amazing Lot, Because Their Life Is Spent Half On Land, Half in Water!

    Uploaded by

    Rajib Mukherjee
    Amphibians live both on land and in water, with most beginning their lives as larvae in water before moving to land as adults. There are three main groups of amphibians - frogs and toads without tails, salamanders and newts with tails, and caecilians with tail but no legs. Amphibians were the first vertebrates to develop the ability to live on land as well as water, acting as a link between aquatic and terrestrial animals. Scientists study amphibians to learn about the different types and how they live, as well as abilities that could prove useful.

    Amazing Amphibians

    Amphibians are an amazing lot, because their life is spent half on land, half in water! Of course, the word amphibian may first bring to mind the image of the bulging eyes of a frog. But the amphibian family has many other members too. Three main groups of amphibians exist on earth today. Frog and toads, which have no tails as adults, salamanders and newts , which have tails, and caecilians which have tails but no legs.

    Most of the members of this class typically begin their life in water as larvae, and more or less lead their adult lives on land. The first amphibians developed as fish out of water, and they are the link between vertebrates that live in water, and those that live on land.

    Some scientists study amphibians to learn about the kinds that exists, and how they live. Other scientists study certain abilities of amphibians that may prove useful to man.
