• Frogs begin their lives in the water as eggs and then tadpoles and when they are fully developed they live on land.
  
• They can breathe using gills and lungs.
• They have mucus glands in their skin.
• There are more than 4,000 different kinds of amphibians on Earth.
• Newts, salamanders, and caecilians (blind worms) are also members of the amphibian group.
