By Land and By Sea

Background :    Amphibian animals that are at home in water or on land include frogs and toads.   Amphibians go through a two-stage life cycle.  When an amphibian hatches, it is in a gilled larval form. In frogs and toads this larva is called a tadpole. After a few weeks or even months, the larvae transform into the adult form of a frog.    (Source:  http://www.fi.edu/fellows/fellow9/jun99/facts/amphibian2.shtml) For Photos of amphibians:  http://yahooligans.yahoo.com/content/animals/amphibians /amph_families.html More frogs and toads:  http://allaboutfrogs.org/froglnd.shtml
