Amphibians

What are amphibians?

Amphibians can live both in fresh water and on land, although all amphibian species depend upon water for reproduction and to keep their skin moist. They range in size from frogs less than a half-inch long, to a giant salamanders that reach five feet in length. The Zoo currently exhibits the following two toads:

  • Couch's spadefoot toad
  • Western green toad
