Amphibians

Each and every frog has an unique mating call. Their life cycle includes three stages; egg, larva, and adult. Frogs are carnivores, so they only eat meat and not plants. There are between 5000 and 6000 species of amphibians alive today. They are declining and 1/3 are either threatened or extinct. Amphibians need water for respiration. They need to keep their skin moist so the gas exchange can occur. They are sensitive bio-indicators of degraded stream habitats and water quality.
