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 giant salamanders that reach five feet in length.

Below is the list of amphibians on exhibit at the Zoo. When the LAIR (Living Amphibians, Invertebrates, and Reptiles) exhibit opens in early 2012, this list will expand tremendously.
