Amphibians live part of their lives in water and part on land. Yes, frogs are perhaps the most obvious one. Yes, they are tadpoles. Tadpoles change and become adult amphibians and are able to live on land and breathe air. They also look quite different from the tadpoles of the early phase of the life cycle.
Amphibians are also cold-blooded.
Describe the life cycle of an amphibian. Make a list of the characteristics of each stage, and be prepared to help me list these characteristics on the blackboard. Another group of vertebrates is the reptiles. Reptiles have dry scaly skin and spend all of their lives on land. Like fish and amphibians, reptiles are cold-blooded animals.
