Salamander, a tailed amphibian. Salamanders are cold-blooded animals. They have soft skin that is usually moist and must have a humid if not wet environment. Most species are found on land; a few are strictly aquatic. Like other amphibians, salamanders are never found in seawater. Land salamanders are often found under stones and logs. Salamanders are found in North America, Asia, Europe, North Africa, and northern South America.
Wolf spiders have eight legs, all attached to the cephalothorax. On the front of the cephalothorax are the mouth, the fangs, the eyes, and two small "mini-legs" called pedipalps. These are used to grab prey, and in mating, and are much bigger in male spiders than in females. They have eight eyes in three rows. The front row has four small eyes, the middle row has two much larger eyes, and the back two eyes are medium sized and off to the sides. These spiders have strong fangs and and venom glands to quickly kill their prey.Wolf spiders are colored in camouflage colors of brown, orange, black, and grey. Sometimes they are all one color, but usually they have some stripes or blotches.
A frog is an
amphibian. They lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into a tadpole
which lives in water until it metamorphoses into an adult frog.Tadpoles look more like fish than frogs, they have long finned tails and breathe through gills.An amphibian can live both on land and in water.Although frogs live on land their
habitat must be near swamps, ponds or in a damp place. This is because
they will die if their skin dries out.Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin.Frogs breathe through their nostrils while also absorbing about half the air they need through their skin.Frogs use their sticky, muscular
tongue to catch and swallow food. Unlike humans, their tongue is not
attached to the back of its mouth. Instead it is attached to the front,
enabling the frog to stick its tongue out much further.
