AmphibiaWeb's goal is to provide a single page for every species of amphibian in the world so research scientists, citizen scientists and conservationists can collaborate. [1] It added its 7000th animal in 2012, a glass frog from Peru. [2] [3] As of 2022, it hosted more than 8,400 species located worldwide. [4] [5]
This list is derived from the database listing of AmphibiaWeb. [1] Each species is listed by its scientific name, in taxonomic order, followed by the Red Book conservation status - extinct (EX), extinct in the wild (EW), critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN), vulnerable (VU), near threatened (NT), least concern (LC), data deficient (DD ...
In addition, the AmphibiaWeb recognizes Amnirana longipes as a valid species, [2] whereas the Amphibian Species of the World, [1] following Jongsma and colleagues, [4] considers it synonym of Amnirana albolabris. Nevertheless, the "true" species number is likely to be substantially higher, with molecular data suggesting at least seven new ...

A vampire hedgehog, a pygmy pipehorse and a "blob-headed" fish were among the hundreds of new species identified in 2024. The variety of species identified was quite eclectic and names for the new ...
This list is derived from the database listing of AmphibiaWeb. [1] 25 species are critically endangered(CR), 16 species are endangered (EN) and 6 species are vulnerable (VU). One species has recently (September 2016) gone extinct with the last individual in captivity dying, and with not a single specimen seen nor heard in the wild for over a ...
The one-toed amphiuma (Amphiuma pholeter) is a species of aquatic, eel-like salamander in the family Amphiumidae. The species is native to the southeastern United States. It was unknown to science until 1950, when it was collected by herpetologist Wilfred T. Neill, who described it as a new species in 1964. It is rarely observed in the wild ...
