This is a checklist of amphibians found in Northern America, based mainly on publications by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles. [1] [2] [3] The information about range and status of almost all of these species can be found also for example in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species site. [4]
The fauna of Canada consist of approximately 200 mammal species, over 460 native bird species, 43 amphibian species, 43 reptile species, and 1,200 fish species. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The biology survey of Canada cites that there are approximately 55,000 species of insects and 11,000 species of mites and spiders.
The numbers of species cited above follows Frost and the total number of known (living) amphibian species as of March 31, 2019, is exactly 8,000, [12] of which nearly 90% are frogs. [ 13 ] With the phylogenetic classification, the taxon Labyrinthodontia has been discarded as it is a polyparaphyletic group without unique defining features apart ...

All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this.
The wildlife of Canada or biodiversity of Canada consist of over 80,000 classified species, [a] and an equal number thought yet to be recognized. [3] Known fauna and flora have been identified from five kingdoms: [ 4 ] protozoa represent approximately 1% of recorded species; chromist (approximately 4); fungis (approximately 16%); plants ...
