1. Amphibians are cold-blooded animals, meaning they do not have a constant body temperature but instead take on the temperature of their environment.
2.They have moist, scaleless skin that absorbs water and oxygen, but that also makes them vulnerable to dehydration (loss of bodily fluids). Without moist conditions, their skin dries out and they die.
3.Amphibians are most often found near ponds, marshlands, swamps, and other areas where freshwater is available.
4.The thin skin of amphibians contains many glands, among them poison glands that protect certain species against predators.
5.Some amphibians protect themselves from enemies by changing color to blend in with their surroundings.

Amphibians have the ability to live both on land and in water. They are cold blooded animals and normally found in marshy or sea side areas.
