Home > Amphibians

Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Amphibia


​Amphibian (class Amphibia), any member of the group of vertebrate animals characterized by their ability to exploit both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The name amphibian, derived from the Greek amphibios meaning “living a double life,” reflects this dual life strategy—though some species are permanent land dwellers, while other species have a completely aquatic mode of existence. More than 6,500 species of living amphibians are known. (Encyclopedia Britannica William E. Duellman, George R. Zug)
