picture info	Amphibian Amphibians are tetrapod, four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates of the Class (biology), class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial animal, terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to reptiles like lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Ichthyophis ''Ichthyophis'' is a genus of caecilians (limbless amphibians, sometimes called the Asian caecilians) found in Southeast Asia, the southern Philippines The Philippines (; fil, Pilipinas, links=no), officially the Republic of the Philippines ( fil, Republika ng Pilipinas, links=no), * bik, Republika kan Filipinas * ceb, Republika sa Pilipinas * cbk, República de Filipinas * hil, Republ ..., and the western Indo-Australian Archipelago. In Sri Lanka, three species occur. All are found in almost all habitats, but are known to prefer moist ones. The most common is ''Ichthyophis glutinosus'', which is found in almost all altitudes; the others are ''I. orthoplicatus'', which is found in similar habitat to ''I. glutinosus'', but will not be found in lowlands below above sea level; and ''I. pseudangularis'', found in lowlands below ASL. A new species was recently discovered called '' Ichthyophis multicolor''. Species References * * AmphibiaWeb: Information on amphibia ...
