What is an amphibian
•Amphibians are characterized as cold-blooded
•Many amphibians lay their eggs in water. Amphibians are superficially similar to reptiles
•A juvenile are water-breathing form to an adult air-breathing
Toad
Toads cannot transmit warts to people through handling or skin contact. The bumps on a toad's
skin help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline . A group of toads
are called a knot
Frog
Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day. A popular
distinction is often made between frogs and toads on the basis of their appearance, but this has no
taxonomic basis .
Frog call
Some frog calls are so loud, they can be heard up to a mile away. The call of a frog is unique to its
species
Some frogs lack vocal sacs , but these species can still produce a loud call.
The main reason for calling is to allow males to attract a mate.
