most amphibians have legs so they can walk on land. there arent usually amphibians that dont have legs...

Their skin. It is permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as to water. On land, adult frogs use their lungs to breathe. When a frog is underwater, oxygen is transmitted through the skin directly into the bloodstream. Because the oxygen is dissolved in an aqueous film on the skin and passes from there to the blood, the skin must remain moist at all times.

reptiles normally dont live in cold areas due to that they are cold blooded.  this means that they need heat to raise their body temp. so they can begin to move, eat, reproduce, etc.  that is why u normally see them sunning themselves.\nfrogs lay alot of eggs due to the amount of predation over the eggs.  the more eggs laid the greater chance of a few to grow to adult frogs.  frogs are not the only animal to lay a large amt of eggs.  this also goes to other toads, reptiles, fish and insects.

Scientific explanation? The symetry and mass of a frog is designed in such a manor that the mass at the rear of the frog is larger than the mass at the front. Assuming that the mass is of equal density throughout the body of the frog and using newtons law, when the frog propels itself in a skyward trajectory, the end of the frog with the larger mass will fall towards the earth first. This area of mass just happens to be the frogs butt! By the way, what did one frog say to the other? .....................Times fun when your having flies...

Usually they either jump or swim. It is also possible for them to walk if they want to, and certain kinds can climb as well.

THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT AMPHIBIANS ARE DEPENDANT ON WATER. So obviously, adaptation will be based on this difference...\n\nMost reptiles are not as dependent upon nearby water as amphibians. Reptiles have solved the drying-out process by having the skin covered with hard, overlapping scales which help to keep moisture from excaping the body. Reptile eggs do not need to be laid in water because, unlike amphibain eggs, they have a tough shell which helps conserve moisture. Some reptiles may even retain eggs inside the body until they hatch, then giving birth to live young.\n\nreptiles have claws on their feet to help climb, run and dig on land. Because most reptiles are not dependent upon a body of water for reproduction, they can live in places such as deserts where it would difficult for amphibians to survive. Some reptiles, such as crocodilians, many turtles, some snakes and a few lizards have gone back to living in the water, but they breathe air through their lungs and must still emerge from the water to lay their eggs on land

I'd never heard of grassfrogs, but I've done some reading about them.\nThis site:\nhttp://www.goldlinksweb.com/growlinggrassfrog/aboutfrog.html\nis a good resource for learning about them.  It doesn't say anything about tadpoles flying, but it does say that grassfrogs can travel over a long distance with no water.\nIt also says that the grassfrogs are rare, a protected species in Victoria, as a matter of fact.\n\nAnother site:\nhttp://www.studiocinqo.com/p_veenvliet/2_5_midwintertadpoles.htm\nmentions that though many grassfrogs hatched there aren't many tadpoles around.  He says that predators have eaten the tadpoles.  That might be your answer.\n\nHere's what another site said.  It again says that this is a threatened species.  \nThreats \nChytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of frogs skin caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and has been linked with continuing amphibian population declines in the western USA, Central America, Europe, Africa, and Australia. Ongoing studies suggest a correlation between resistance to lethal infection by B. dendrobatidis and synthesis (production) of antimicrobial peptides by the host amphibian. Further research is needed to define better the role of antimicrobial peptides in protection of amphibian populations and the effect of environmental factors upon antimicrobial peptide synthesis (Rollins-Smith & Conlon 2005). \n\nPhysical and environmental impacts include direct loss of habitat through removal of aquatic and riparian vegetation particularly by allowing grazing to the water edge. Draining of wetlands, lowing of freshwater groundwater through pumping and increased salinity from run-off and altered hydrological systems can all alter Growling Grass Frog habitat. \n\nPredator species such as the introduced Mosquito Fish Gambusia affinis can impact on tadpoles, Mosquito Fish are prolific breeders producing off spring three or four times per year. They can tolerate poor water quality and can inhabit waters otherwise unsuitable to many of the native freshwater fishes, which increases their capacity to prey on tadpoles. \n\nElevated nitrate and phosphate concentrations have been identified as a impact. Historical and experimental evidence suggests that in New South Wales the decline of Green and Golden Bell Frog L. aurea in its former range was due to high nutrient run off events. Fertilizers may also increase the nutrient status of waterbodies and thereby initiate eutrophication, resulting in lowered dissolved oxygen levels that do not support tadpoles (Hamer et al 2004). \n\n\nhttp://bird.net.au/bird/index.php?title=Growling_Grass_Frog\nCan the frogs be moved somehow?  Discouraged with sounds?  I don't really know the answer, but I hope these sites will help you.  You could also call the natural resources organization in your area. They might have some good ideas for you.

Unlike many frogs, coquís do not possess swimming membranes between their fingers and toes, and thus are not adapted to swim. However, like all tree frogs they possess small pads on the tips of their toes which help them adhere to moistened or slippery surfaces.

Naugty like the devil! I guess.  LOL!\n\nWe did see a National Geographic show that the mating techniques of a frog may have been the Horny Toad. But like once a year they "did it " constantly.

It depends entirley on hair colour, most adapt so that they blend in, but you can see them moving if there are lots, mostly they cling on to the hair as they find it very difficult to move out of hair. I have provided some links to close up pics of the beasties!

alligators have a frog rounded shaped mouth and live in fresh water most of the time. Have been seen in salt water.\nCroc's have a long snout.  And Usually reside in salt water.

Toads, (like frogs, newts & other amhibians) deposit their eggs in the water as what is often called "frogspawn". It looks a litle like see-thru tapioca pudding, or sometimes like a string of tapioca. The fertilized eggs develop into 'polywogs' ot 'tadpoles', which look like little toads with tails.  Then they get bigger, and come out of the water.\n\nToads are bitter tasting and do not make good snacks. (My dog tells me this, quite often, by his expression upon biting into one, and the fact he always leaves half of each toad he tries!)

axolotl they are salamanders that have these weird looking gills and live under water.  Also they are somewhat transparent

Question is a little vague......anatomy is structural and function is physiological, so I am not sure what your question really is; is it about anatomy or physiology or both? So RSVP:  Are you asking about the unique physiology or anatomy of amphibians?\n\nThey have many structures in common with the other tetrapod vertebrates, but also have unique structures as amphibians.  Plus each sub-class-type of amphibian (frogs-toads) vs (newts-salamanders) vs caecilians are each different.\n\nAll amphibians have their unique slimey scaleless skin through which they attain most of their oxygen and release their CO2 by diffusion, their 3-chambered heart with 2 atria and 1 ventricle, their external fertilization type reproductive system that has egg-larva-tadpole and adult.  Their respiratory system changes at each stage of development. As tadpoles they use their gills. As they metamorphose to adults,the gills are absorbed and lungs develop to breathe air although they lack a diaphragm and ribs (in most...some amphibians retain larval stage for their whole life...axolotyl). They have kidneys and bladder for excretory system; endoskeleton is bone and has most of the same bones as us, although some are fused (radio-ulna, fibulo-tibia; no skull protecting brain, unusual urostyle bone of pelvis.

Think of froggies, they lay eggs, then turn into tadpoles, then sprout legs, then lose the tail, then we humans dissect them.  or eat their legs. Sorry, I think that's stupid.  Can you imagine all those little frogs with walkers?

Amphibians as a group are not doing that well on the planet and are one of the most sensitive groups suffering losses during environemntal degradation of the planet, esp their larval stages.  But here are a few cool things about them:\n\ntoads estivate and bury themselves deep in mud with spades on their back feet during peak heat-dry periods of summer\n\nfrogs hibernate-freeze (they are ectotherms) and can stay at bottle of a pond-lake frozen and thaw out in spring thaws.\n\npoison glands on skin and slimey skin helps them have a chance against some predation.\n\ngreat camoflauge on some species skin, esp with dorsal side of frog being greenish and ventral underside being whitish so they blend in their environment. \n\nGreat bright colors on some frogs in rain forest is a warning of their degree of poisonous-ness.....warning to animals to stay away and not eat-touch them.

Frogs may return to where they were born to mate, it depends on many factors. Of course, if they always returned to the same place generation after generation the inbreeding would be horrific, so most frog species disperse- it might only be one sex, but when they become frogs brothers and sisters are competing with each other for food so it is their best interest to find "new ground"- if they find a good pond, they will stay there and breed. You are very lucky to have a frog orgy in your back yard- it indicates a healthy environment.
