Amphibians belongs to the kingdom of Amalia.
Amphibians are cold-blooded such as frogs, toads and
salamanders
But the body of amphibians changes with the environment in
cold weathers amphibians hibernate during the winter.
There are over 64300 thousand species of amphibians.
Frogs belong to the group of amphibian in the order of Anura.
. Frogs are cold blooded but when they get to warm they lay
in the sun to warm up.
Some frog fossils were found by scientist almost over 140 million
years ago.
. Frogs can be found near water but they mostly prefer ponds
lakes and also marshes.
Some adaptations
They have a small waist but no neck, flat skull because
it’s easy for them to swim and hold its prey.
 They have front legs and feet to use to keep the front
body off the body or ground.

Characteristics

They have moist, scale less skin that absorbs water and
oxygen. Without the moist condition skin they will die,
that’s why you’ll see lots of amphibians are near water.
Many Amphibians eat meat and are carnivorous. But
for most of them they eat insects and other
invertebrates.
There are 8,600 different species of birds.
 Birds have scaley legs and they have no
teeth

Some eat seeds, berries, fruit and insects.
 Others eat small mammals, fish, larvae,
aquatic vertebrates, and acorns


Birds can live in jungles, parks anywhere
where there are trees.
They migrate during fall and winter.
 There is a bird that can drunk, if it inhales
alcohol.
 Females don’t need to mate to lay eggs.

Fish are aquatic vertebrates.
 At 31,000 different species, fish exhibit
greater species diversity than any other
vertebrates.

Fish are cold-blooded, allowing the body
temperature to vary as the ambient temperatures
change.
 Not all fish have scales; the fish that don’t have
scales have a thick layer of mucous.
 The purposes for their scales are to give the
protection.
 . Their gills are used for breathing underwater.


Their fins and tail help them swim.

Obviously, fish live in water. Fish can be
found in most aquatic environments

It actually depends what fish your
dealing with. For fish in aquariums, they
eat things like flakes, tablets and other
fish food you buy at the stores. But for fish
in the oceans, lakes etc, they eat
plankton, dirt, algae, seaweed, fish that
are smaller than them and mostly
anything they can find to eat.
Mammals are any animals that produces,
feeds it young with milk, and is warmblooded.
 There are about 5400 species.
 Some adaptations are for animals that live
in cold climates have coats of fur or
blubber to protect them from the cold.
 Mammals have developed different
adaptations for the different environment
that they live in .

Mammal eat plants, meat, fish, and
insects.
 They can be carnivores, herbivores, and
omnivores.

Mammals can be found on land, in
water and in the air.
 They can be found all around the world.

All reptiles are cold blooded that’s why they
warm themselves in the sun
There are 6,800 species of reptiles on earth
Most reptiles have dry, scales and, scutes
Scutes are bony external plates or scales
Turtles have scutes on their shells
And crocodiles have them on their skin
The kingdom Reptilia is the kingdom the reptiles
belong to
Reptiles have thick skin that minimizes
water loose to cool them selves (it
especially works for reptiles if they are in
the dessert)
 In autumn reptiles lose their body heat
because, the weather is cold, this helps
them survive extreme weather

Like most living things, reptiles have to find a mate
in order to reproduce
 Some reptiles lay eggs some give birth to live
young



Many reptiles that live in hot climates are mostly
active at night
A few lizards have long legs, so they can absorb
less surface heat while running and just moving
Some live in the dessert
 Some live in creeks
 Some live throughout the warm and
temperate regions

Most reptiles are carnivores which mean
they eat other animals and insects
 Only a very few reptiles are herbivores
which mean the eat plants or berries
