Amphibians (Class Amphibia) include fascinating creatures such as salamanders, newts, caecilians, frogs, and toads. Amphibian larvea are often aquatic and go through a complex metamorphosis process as they grow to adulthood. They have moist skin and do not have scales, feathers or hair.

Redefining Amphibians
I've been reading quite a bit recently about the stage in vertebrate evolution when early amphibians first colonized land. It's an intriguing time in Earth's history.

Why are Amphibians in Decline?
In recent years, scientists and conservationists have been working to raise public awareness of a global decline in amphibian populations. Herpetologists first started noting that amphibian populations were falling at many of their study sites in the 1980s.

Zoologists Find New Ways to Help Amphibians
Amphibian populations around the world are in decline due to multiple factors, but one of the most serious threats they face is Chytridiomycosis, a fatal disease caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
