Amp.+Examples

Here are some examples of amphibians!!

Frog: Different species of frogs have different scientific names. For example, the scientific name for the bullfrog is Rana Catesbeiana. When frogs are in the stage of their lives when they have gills, they are called tadpoles. Toad: they are much like frogs. This is what some scientists say, but others say that one difference is that frogs have wet, slimy skin, and toads have dry, bumpy, warty skin. Another difference is the location of the poison sacs. The scientific name for the sonoran green toad is Bufo Retiformis. Salamander: Salamanders are quite different from frogs **AND toads because salamander bodies are similar to that of a lizard. Their bodies are different from those of frogs and toads because salamanders have wrinkly skin. Newts and sirens are types of salamanders. Some salamanders breathe through gills. One source says that while toads seem to contradict being amphibians, they are still amphibians.** BACK TO HOME
