Introduction

Amphibians are rare animals that can be found in many places like forests, jungles or even in your backyard. Amphibians have been on earth for more than 370 million years! Let’s find out all the different types of ways that can affect the amphibian's survival and habitat. A fact about Amphibians is that some Amphibians are diverse but unique. Here are some ways that humans affect amphibian survival: deforestation, pollution, climate change, using Amphibians to create products and preys and predators.

I’m slimy and sticky!

Deforestation

Averi, Angira, Karen

Deforestation is when humans remove trees to make room for something besides the forest. The land is then used for farming, building houses, and stores. In doing so, it affects the amphibian's habitat and has a high risk of dying. Also, it can hurt them by making their used-to-be home non-livable. So, having no shelter due to no trees equals death. Also, trees can pile up on streams and rivers and build a dam making the water stop flowing and causes dehydration.

Habitat

By Jayden Morales and Madeline Rice

Where do different kinds of Amphibians live?

You might be surprised to learn that there is probably an amphibian living within a walking distance of where you are right now. Amphibians have adapted to survive in many different types of habitats. They can be found in Forests, Wetlands or Vernal Pond, Spring, Streams or Rivers and even your Backyard. Sometimes you can guess where a particular amphibian lives just by looking at its adaptation, coloration, physical characteristics and even behavior.

Pollution affects amphibians

Pollution

What is pollution? And how does it affect Amphibians ?

Air pollution hurts amphibians by making the air smoky and hard to breathe with no fresh air. All of the gas pollution from wildfires clogs their lungs with oil gas and they end up dying of suffocation. They won't be able to breath and they might go EXTINCT.

Water pollution, gasoline pollution and littering comes out everyday and affects amphibians. All the littering is mistaken for food. The plastic doesn't digest or they can choke on the plastic, metal cans and other pollution, Anyhow, it basically poisons the animals... ending up, well you know, dead. If littering continues, the amphibians will end up extinct.

Using Amphibians to create products

Kylie and Maya

Amphibian bones and muscle tissues have been used as remedies for infections, bites, cancer, and allergies. We need to take a stand and help the frogs from dying because maybe one day, if people keep killing frogs, they will become EXTINCT!

Some animals are used for food. But, there's only 1 amphibian you can eat: the frog. Humans eat the frog legs because it is good for omega-3 fatty acids, protein, potassium and vitamin A. If only people wouldn't kill them, they wouldn't be gone. There are only 4,810 frogs in the world right now because of all the harm humans are doing to them.

Life Cycles of Frogs

One thing about amphibians is that they have life cycles. First, they are an egg that starts to grow bigger and bigger. Next, they hatch and become little baby amphibians. Then, they turn into baby to get used to swimming around in water. Then the tadpoles become young adult frogs. Last they turn into an adult frog and can live in water and land. And they can catch prey and they can hide from predators.
