Description:

An amphibian spends part of its life cycle in water, and part on land. Frogs, toads and newts are amphibians. They begin life as tadpoles, hatching from eggs in a pond. As they grow larger, they lose their tails, grow legs, and as adults spend time on land. They need to keep their skin moist though, so prefer damp places.
