Amphibian Description.
Poison dart frogs are red, orange, yellow, blue, green and
even sometimes purple. Amphibians have smile like
mouths, slick and slimy skin, fat squishy bodies and bulb
shaped toes. Most newts and frogs have rather big, round
eyes. Did you know that red eyed tree frogs have: big red
eyes, sticky orange toes, a leaf green body and sapphire
blue sides including its waist . Frogs are happy, spotty or
stripy, thin and slimy Amphibians that croak as loud as a
trumpet. Toads are fat, plump and scaly Amphibians that
crawl and slide like spiders, I like them because they hop
as quick as a car. They creep around under the mud in
ponds. Frogs and Toads love to leap all over the place.
Information Report.
• Amphibians are animals that live on land and in
water, they lived back in the dinosaur age. Did you
know that at least a quarter of the dinosaurs were
Amphibians but it is quite hard to tell because they
are skeletons now!
• Newts, frogs, toads and salamanders are all part of
the Amphibian family. Did you know a female Newt
can lay up to 400 eggs a year. The word Amphibian
comes from a Greek past meaning double life.
• Amphibians live in lakes, ponds, streams and swamps.
Most amphibians like frogs have slimy skin and others like
salamanders have scaly skin but both frogs,newts and
salamanders have short legs.
Frogs lay eggs that hatch in to tadpoles which grow in to
froglets and then they will lose their tails and become
adult frogs
Though amphibians look rather small they can still bite you
and it is painful.
Action plan.
• Poison dart frogs are critically endangered.
• Humans should stop deforesting to stop poison dart
frogs from becoming extinct.
• Cane toads are being killed because they are going
into peoples backyards.
• We could just move them some where else.
