Amphibians are a diverse group of animals that typically live both in water and on land. They include creatures like frogs, toads, and salamanders. Amphibians are known for their unique life cycle, which often begins with an aquatic larval stage, such as a tadpole, before they undergo metamorphosis into their adult form. These animals play a crucial role in ecosystems as both predators and prey. They are sensitive to environmental changes, making them important indicators of ecosystem health. Unfortunately, many amphibian species are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.
