Overview

Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that typically undergo metamorphosis from aquatic larvae to semi-aquatic or terrestrial adults. They are classified into three main groups: frogs and toads (Anura), salamanders and newts (Caudata), and caecilians (Gymnophiona). Amphibians play a crucial role in ecosystems as both predators and prey.

Caecilians

Caecilians are a group of limbless amphibians that breathe through their skin or lungs. They are found in tropical regions of the world and are often mistaken for snakes due to their similar appearance. Caecilians have a unique skull structure, which allows them to burrow through soil and subterranean environments.
