Introduction of amphibian animals

Amphibian animals are those animals which live in the two different types of habitat, the aquatic habitat and the terrestrial habitat or land. These animals need the aquatic habitat at the time of breeding season. Some amphibians are more terrestrial than others. Toads are the amphibians which are more terrestrial. Other amphibians are more aquatic than other amphibians. For example frog is the amphibian which is more aquatic in habitat. There are other amphibians which have tail in their body and which swim in water y and look like the fish or like the larva of frog. Anyway amphibian animals have the important characters like :
- They have stream-lined body shape
- They have thin and moist skin which helps them in cutaneous respiration
- They also respire through the lungs when they are in the adult stage and when they need more oxygen like in breeding season and in the time of high metabolic rate.
- They have the body colour which harmonise them in the surrounding environment-
