Amphibians

Toads have dry and bumpy skin. They have poison glands behind their eyes. Toads do not hop, but walk. Frogs have slimy silky skin and leap great distances. Both have strong back legs and pulsate their mouths. They also both have acute hearing and can only see in black and white. Amphibians can tell change in the weather. When their is going to be rain, more amphibians are present, but when the habitat is unusually dry the amphibians go into hiding or find shelter. The decline in amphibian populations can be linked to the entering of a new predator, pollution, or the destruction of their habitats. Prevention of the extinction of these amphibians is to stop the destruction of their environments.
