AMPHPHIBIANS

"What are they?"

Amphibians are animals that can live on land but most need to return to water to
breed.Amphibians are vertebrates and are ectothermic {cold-blooded}.The group
includes Frogs,Toads, Salamanders,andNewts.
Frogs and toads are the most common amphibians.The adults have bulging eyes,a squat
body,and no tail.Frogs have smooth skin and long powerful back legs with webbed feet
for jumping and swimming.They normally live in or near water.Toads have a dry,warty
skin and shorter legs with less webbing between the toes.They prefer to live on
land,except during breeding.You can find both Toads and Frogs around water.They like
Swamps,Creeks,streams,Canals,lakes or any place with water.They do not need to be
aqautic to like water.Some Toads are Semi-aquatic.Mosquitos and other insects and
bugs are attracted to water,So Frogs and Toads go where the food is abundant.
Did you know frogs breath through their skin as well as their lungs! To learn more fun

Fish

A fish is any gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate (or craniate) animal which lacks limbs with
digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and
bony fish, as well as various extinct related groups. Because the term is defined
negatively, and excludes the tetrapods (i.e., the amphibians, reptiles, birds and
mammals) which descend from within the same ancestry, it is paraphyletic. The
traditional term pisces (also ichthyes) is considered a typological, but not a
phylogenetic classification.

Most fish are "cold-blooded", or ectothermic, allowing their body temperatures to vary
as ambient temperatures change. Fish are abundant in most bodies of water. They can be
found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and
gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g., gulpers and
anglerfish). At 31,900 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other class
of vertebrates.

Bird

Birds (class Aves) are feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), egg-
laying, vertebrate animals. There are around 10,000 living species, making them the
most speciose class of tetrapod vertebrates. They inhabit ecosystems across the globe,
from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Extant birds range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) Bee
Hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) Ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved
from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150–200 Ma (million years
ago), and the earliest known bird is the Late Jurassic Archaeopteryx, c 150–145 Ma.
Most paleontologists regard birds as the only clade of dinosaurs to have survived the
Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event approximately 65.5 Ma.

Reptile

Reptiles are animals in the (Linnaean) class Reptilia. They are characterized by
breathing air, laying shelled eggs, and having skin covered in scales and/or scutes.
Reptiles are classically viewed as having a "cold-blooded" metabolism. They are
tetrapods (either having four limbs or being descended from four-limbed ancestors).
Modern reptiles inhabit every continent with the exception of Antarctica, and four living
orders are currently recognized:

 Crocodilia
 crocodiles
 gavials
 caimans,
 alligators
 Sphenodontia
 tuataras
 Squamata
  lizards
 snakes,
 Testudines (turtles and tortoises

Vertebrate animals are those that have bones and spine.

There are five classes of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
The vertebrate body is composed of head, trunk and extremities.
In addition, most vertebrates have tails.
Each vertebrate class has its body covered in a different way, mammals have hair, birds
have feathers, fish and reptiles have scales, amphibians have bare skin.
