What are Amphibians?

Amphibians are special animals that can live both in water and on land. They start their life in water as babies, called tadpoles, and then grow up to live on land. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are all examples of amphibians.

Example: A frog begins as a tadpole swimming in the water, and then it grows legs and can hop on land.

Fun Fact: Amphibians have smooth, moist skin that helps them breathe. They are very good at jumping and swimming!
