Amphibians, such as frogs, toads, and salamanders, exhibit a range of behaviors that are often linked to their environment. They are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature is influenced by the surrounding temperature. This affects their activity levels, with many becoming more active during warmer months. Amphibians often engage in behaviors like basking in the sun to regulate their body heat. Reproduction is a key behavior for amphibians, typically involving complex mating calls and rituals. Male frogs may croak to attract females, while salamanders perform courtship displays. After mating, many species lay eggs in water, where the larvae undergo metamorphosis, transitioning from aquatic tadpoles to adult forms.
