Amphibians to Paint Online
Amphibians are vertebrates that spend part of their lives under water (breathing with gills) and the remainder on land (breathing with lungs). Amphibians are cold-blooded; their body temperature depends on the temperature of their environment. There are three groups (orders) of living amphibians: newts and salamanders (urodeles); frogs and toads (anurans); and caecilians (the worm-like gymnophiones).

Gerrothorax
An ancient amphibian that lived over 200 million years ago.

Frog
Tadpoles grow up to be frogs.

Newt
Newts are small, brightly-colored salamanders.

Poison Arrow Frog
Poison arrow or poison dart frogs are poisonous frogs from rainforests of South and Central America. Some South American Indians apply the poison to the tips of their hunting arrows and blow-gun darts.

Salamander
Salamanders are amphibians that retain their tail as an adult.

Toad
Toads are amphibians with poison glands and usually warty skin.
