Summary: Amphibians are small vertebrates that live in watery or moist environments. Amphibians are included in the class of Amphibia. There are three types of amphibians, Anura, Caudata, and Gymnophiona. The amphibians have peculiar skin with various functions, to produce proteins, move water; oxygen; and carbon in their body, fight bacteria, and a defence system. 

What is Amphibian?

There are various kinds of animals in the world. Some of them are close to us, some of them are unseen to our eyes, and some of them are dangerous. Knowing and learning about the characteristics of animals will help us in many aspects of our life. It is also a sign of us respecting what mother nature has given to us. According to National Geographic, amphibians are small vertebrates that live in watery or moist environments. Their thin skin helps them to breathe and absorb water to survive. The amphibians have peculiar skin with various functions, to produce proteins, move water; oxygen; and carbon in their body, fight bacteria, and a defence system.

Most amphibians have a metamorphosis life cycle (egg to larva to adult). The egg hatched, and the larvae slowly grew as young tadpoles. As time goes on, they develop lungs and limbs and live on the land. Another characteristic of amphibians is they are cold-blooded (like reptiles). They cannot be under the sunlight and dry wind for too long because it could damage their skin.

What is the Anatomy of Amphibian?

Amphibians are extraordinary animals with peculiar anatomy as well. They have moist and smooth skin which lacks scales or hair. Their skin is wet because of the glands that produce slimy essences called mucus. Most amphibians breathe with their skins instead of their lungs. They are also born with gills; however, some species outgrow them when they become adults. These gills help the animal to distribute blood and oxygen to their body. Some kinds of amphibians can regenerate their skins to keep them healthy.

Toads and frogs have a flat skullcap, short spinal column, and long back limbs. Meanwhile, salamanders and newts have more long spinal columns than frogs and toads. The size of their legs is similarly the same. The average temperature of amphibians is determined by the temperature of their surroundings. Unlike mammal, which has four-chambered heart, amphibians only have three. Their bones are also in low numbers compared to other vertebrate species. These cold-blooded vertebrates can detect the magnetic field of Earth, infrared, and ultraviolet light. Some amphibians have bright colours to protect them from dangerous predators. The colours could change depending on the temperature around them. 

Where is the Habitat of Amphibians?

Based on their main characteristics, we know that amphibians can live in two environments (water and land). They live on the water at the larva stage and spend most of their adult lives on the surface. The adult amphibian usually went to the water in the mating season in the spring. Almost 75% of frogs and toads live in the tropical rainforest. We can also find some species in the damp area near a water source and some in dry land, even the desert. The distributions of amphibians in the world are even. They live on almost every continent except in the high Arctic, Antarctica and a few remote islands. If you want to find an amphibian, you may go to a damp area that lacks sunlight and wind waves. 

How Many Types of Amphibians?

Amphibians are included in the class of Amphibia. There are three types of amphibians, Anura, Caudata, and Gymnophiona. Anura is an amphibian with a short body frame and long back limbs. Most anurans have a high vocal. Examples of anurans are frogs and toads. Caudata or also known as urodeles consists of salamanders and newts. The last Gymnophiona (apoda) are species with tiny heads and no legs. Teaching and introducing the various types of amphibians are essential for the students. This lesson would make them aware of their surroundings and develop their critical thinking ability.    

How to Differentiate Amphibians and Reptiles?

Some students are struggling to differentiate between reptiles and amphibians. This situation is understandable since the species from these groups have many similarities. There are three characteristics to separate amphibians and reptiles; some call these Three Bs (body, breeding, and behaviour).

• Body: Reptiles have thick and dry skin with scales. Meanwhile, amphibians have damp and moist thin skin.
• Breeding: Reptiles lay hard and leathery-shell eggs, and when the egg hatches, the baby reptiles look like the mini version of the adult reptiles. Meanwhile, amphibians lay soft and jellylike-shell eggs, and when the egg hatches, the baby looks like a larva. These larvae then went through a life cycle called metamorphosis.
• Behaviour: Reptiles' skins full of scales protect them from any toxins they encounter. Meanwhile, the thin and sensitive skins of amphibians are delicate to toxins.
