Amphibians

Amphibia is the class of carnivorous vertebrates that includes frogs, toads, and salamanders. Many amphibians spend the larval part of their lives under water and the adult part on land or in water. They must return to damp areas to reproduce. There are about 5,000 species. About 150 are threatened by climate change, UV radiation, a fungus pandemic, introduced species, animal trafficking, and loss of habitat.
