Fish tried amphibian life.

An amphibian is an animal.

Fish tried amphibian life. Frogs adapted to deserts.

The greater siren (Siren lacertina) is an eel like amphibian.

Among its animals, 23 of reptilian and 50 of amphibian species are endemic.

The glass frogs (or glassfrogs) are frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura).

Gaps in the genetic code have been filled in with reptilian, avian, or amphibian DNA.

It can reach up to in weight and in length, making it the largest amphibian species.

Bufo is a large genus of about 150 species of true toads in the amphibian family Bufonidae.

Amniotes, who could better cope with these drier conditions, rose to dominance in lieu of their amphibian ancestors.

The Ornithological Reserve features avian scientific studies and includes 150 species of birds, in addition to mammals and amphibian species.

It is home to around 25 amphibian species and 147 species, 22 of which are only found in the Indus.

Chances are much greater that that hand belonged to an amphibian, Mark, one that spent a great deal of time in the water.

The Cerrado has a high diversity of vertebrates 150 amphibian species, 120 reptile species, 837 bird species, and 161 mammal species have been recorded.

The ancestors of true amniotes, such as Casineria kiddi , which lived about 340 million years ago, evolved from amphibian reptiliomorphs and resembled small lizards.

The aliens themselves had designs based on jellyfish, with movements inspired by red eyed tree frogs, and an amphibian quality particularly on the wet skin.

An amphibious vehicle (or simply amphibian), is a vehicle that is a means of transport, viable on land as well as on (or under) water.

Every animal on this planet, whether it's a mammal, whether it's an amphibian, whether it's a bird, a reptile, a fish, an insect, we are all earthlings.

Of the 59 recorded reptile and amphibian species, 18 are listed in Vietnam's Red Data Book and 6 are listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals.

And our new project is having the inmates and ourselves learn how to raise the Oregon spotted frog which is a highly endangered amphibian in Washington state and Oregon.

The Chinese giant salamander ( Andrias davidianus ) is the largest salamander and largest amphibian in the world, reaching a length of , although it rarely if ever reaches that size today.

This requires an understanding of the community connections between plants (i.e., primary producers) and the decomposers (e.g., fungi and bacteria), or the analysis of predator prey dynamics affecting amphibian biomass.

With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators and in recent decades there has been a dramatic decline in amphibian populations for many species around the globe.

One current project, the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project, has subsequently been developed to rescue species at risk of this disease in eastern Panama, and to develop field applications for probiotic therapy.

One of 17 megadiverse countries, it hosts 8.6 of all mammalian, 13.7 of all avian, 7.9 of all reptilian, 6 of all amphibian, 12.2 of all piscine, and 6.0 of all flowering plant species.

Most grow in terrestrial environments, though several species live partly or solely in aquatic habitats, such as the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis , a parasite that has been responsible for a worldwide decline in amphibian populations.

Overall, the biodiversity of lissamphibians, as well as of tetrapods generally, has grown exponentially over time the more than 30,000 species living today are descended from a single amphibian group in the Early to Middle Devonian.

In August 2010, a search organised by the Amphibian Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature set out to look for various species of frogs thought to be extinct in the wild, including the Hula painted frog.

About 10 of the species of the Earth live in Colombia, including over 1,900 species of bird, more than in Europe and North America combined, Colombia has 10 of the world s mammals species, 14 of the amphibian species and 18 of the bird species of the world.

Earlier researchers used these differences to support the division into five different species, while modern herpetologists understand that external morphology is not reliable for amphibian systematics and can be extremely variable, depending on nourishment, illness, and other factors even varying among individuals in a single population.

In the last 30 years, thanks to explorations in remote parts of the world and advances in technology, biologists have, for example, added a full one third of the known frog and other amphibian species, to bring the current total to 5,400, and more continue to pour in.

While it was found that site factors such as pH and suspended sediments substantially affected the toxicity in the amphibian larvae tested, overall, results suggest that the silvicultural use of Vision herbicide in accordance with the product label and standard Canadian environmental regulations should have negligible adverse effects on sensitive larval life stages of native amphibians.
