Narrowing the Amphibian Field
Now that you've you've determined that your animal is a amphibian (due to its soft, smooth, or warty, possibly moist skin), it's time to look for legs.
Has legs - Image A
Does not have legs - Image B
So waht does this tell you? You know the animal is a amphibian, so if it has legs (as in Image A), it could be one of several types of amphibians such as a amphibian such as a frog, toad, salamander, or newt. If this is the case for the animal you are observing, go to this step next.
On the other hand, if the amphibian you're looking at doesn't have legs (as in Image B), then it is a caecilian.
