In places like Australia and Brazil, experts think that less rain will make it harder for frogs to have babies. In Venezuela, amphibians in the Guiana Highlands must climb into the mountains. Up there, the creatures can stay in cooler temperatures. And in the United States, fires and changes in soil are already hurting five salamander species.

Saving amphibians matters. Scientists use amphibians to study medicines. The creatures also help control insect populations by eating bugs. For example, a disease called malaria spreads through mosquitoes. A mosquito-eating frog species in South America began to die off in the 1980s. This caused cases of malaria to increase in the area.

Hylarana erythraea (Common Green Frog) is a species of amphibians in the family true frogs. They are associated with freshwater habitat. They are found in australasia and the indo-malayan realm. They are nocturnal. They have sexual reproduction. They rely on saltation to move around.

Many newts produce toxins in their skin secretions as a defence mechanism against predators. Taricha newts of western North America are particularly toxic. The rough-skinned newt Taricha granulosa of the Pacific Northwest produces more than enough tetrodotoxin to kill an adult human, and some Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest used the toxin to poison their enemies.[15] However, the toxins are only dangerous if ingested or otherwise enter the body; for example, through a wound. Newts can safely live in the same ponds or streams as frogs and other amphibians or be kept as pets. The only predators of Taricha newts are garter snakes, some having developed a resistance to the toxin. Most newts can be safely handled, provided the toxins they produce are not ingested or allowed to come in contact with mucous membranes or breaks in the skin.[15]

The heart of newts, like that of most amphibians, consists of two atria and one ventricle.[19] Blood flows from the anterior and posterior caval veins into the right atrium; blood that entered the heart from the left atrium is then expelled out of the ventricle. Newts do not have a coronary artery on the ventricle, due to circulation that is found in the conus arteriosus. Newts contain a special circulatory adaptation that allows them to survive ventricular penetration: when a newt's ventricle is punctured, the heart will divert the blood directly into an ascending aorta via a duct located between the ventricle and the conus arteriosus. Newts begin to regenerate the ventricle by a thickening of the epicardial layer that protrudes to allow the new vessels to form, and conclude with a regeneration of the entire myocardial wall.[19]

In early stages of development in amphibians, ventilator gas transport and hemoglobin gas transport are independent mechanisms and not yet coupled as they are in adulthood.[20] In juvenile amphibians, there is no cardiovascular response in conditions of hypoxia.[20] When newts are induced into anemia, they are able to respire without the need of blood cells.[21] In T. carnifex, around two weeks after anemia is induced, the newts produced a mass of cells that helps to revitalize the already circulating red blood cell mass.[21]

Newts, as with salamanders in general and other amphibians, serve as bioindicators because of their thin, sensitive skin and evidence of their presence (or absence) can serve as an indicator of the health of the environment. Most species are highly sensitive to subtle changes in the pH level of the streams and lakes where they live. Because their skin is permeable to water, they absorb oxygen and other substances they need through their skin. Scientists study the stability of the amphibian population when studying the water quality of a particular body of water.[citation needed]

With an elongated and tapered snout, numerous sharp teeth, long body, short legs, and a tail adapted for swimming, its general appearance was very similar to a modern gharial or gar, and it probably had a similar lifestyle as an ambush aquatic predator feeding on fish and other aquatic animals. A study on the closely related Archegosaurus shows that it had a heat balance, gas exchange, osmoregulation, and digestion more similar to that of fish than modern aquatic amphibians; the same probably applied to Prionosuchus as well.[5]

Prionosuchus lived in a humid and tropical environment as indicated by the petrified forest of the Pedra do Fogo Formation in which fossils of this animal have been found. The strata composed of siltstones, shales and limestones were deposited in lagoonal and fluvial environments.[11] Other animals discovered in the same formation include other amphibians (Procuhy, Timonya, Rhinesuchid), captorhinids (Captorhinikos and other two unnamed taxa), parareptile (Karutia) and fish including chondrichthyans (Rubencanthus, Sphenacanthus, Bythiacanthus, Taquaralodus, Itapyrodus, Anisopleurodontis), palaeoniscids (Brazilichthys), and lungfish.[9][10][12]

Warm-blooded animals maintain body temperatures higher than environmental temperatures through metabolic processes different from cold-blooded animals. The ability to control body temperature regardless of environment is a characteristic of homeothermic animals, such as dolphins and birds. Evolutionary biologists hypothesize that birds and mammals evolved warm-bloodedness specifically to prevent fungal infections. Cold-blooded animals such as amphibians and reptiles frequently suffer a variety of fungal infections.

Watersheds of the Colorado, Brazos, Red, and Trinity rivers bisect this region of Northcentral Texas. Riparian zones along these streams and their tributaries contain important wildlife habitat for the region and support good populations of white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkeys. Bobwhites, scaled quail, mourning doves, collared peccary, and a variety of song birds, small mammals, waterfowl, shorebirds, reptiles, and amphibians are found in this region.

While amphibians and reptiles may appear similar, they exhibit two completely different strategies in oviparous reproduction. Amphibians are anamniotes, which means they do not possess an amniotic egg. Their egg is only slightly protected from the external environment and thus must be placed in areas conducive for growth and development. Many amphibians lay their eggs in water so that the essential moisture and nutrients within the egg do not desiccate, which would lead to death of the developing embryo. Some amphibians have developed an ovoviviparous lifestyle to surpass this potential issue.

On the bus, Ms. Wilke explains that showing and telling her students about all the species considered oviparous would be impossible, since all bird species are oviparous, as well as most fish, most of the reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and insects--and even five species of mammals. She will, however, show them a few examples of each.

The students have been anxious to see the amphibian and reptile house. Ms. Wilke takes time to tell students about how these species reproduce. Amphibians, like frogs, newts, or salamanders, can all live underwater or on land, but choose to lay their eggs under water for protection. Reptiles, like crocodiles, turtles, and snakes, live in water sometimes but can also live on land, and they lay their eggs in their home environment. Like fish and some birds, reptiles and amphibians lay a large amount of eggs. Remember why? That's right--to make sure the species survives.

Let's review. Oviparous animals are classified as those that lay eggs outside their bodies. The number of animals who reproduce in this way is long, and includes fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and arthropods. Different species have different ways of both laying their eggs and caring for them depending on the survival rate. Many species lay only a few eggs and care for their young longer, while others lay many eggs and are not around for care. Either way, oviparous animals have it figured out when it comes to ensuring their species lives on.

Some animals have specialized adaptations for dealing with the desert heat and lack of water. Some toads seal themselves in burrows with gelatinous secretions and remain inactive for eight or nine months until a heavy rain occurs. Amphibians that pass through larval stages have accelerated life cycles, which improves their chances of reaching maturity before the waters evaporate. Some insects lay eggs that remain dormant until the environmental conditions are suitable for hatching. The fairy shrimps also lay dormant eggs. Other animals include: insects, mammals (coyote and badger), amphibians (toads), birds (great horned owl, golden eagle and the bald eagle), and reptiles (lizards and snakes). 006ab0faaa
