It has an average length of 7.7 mm (0.30 in) and is part of a genus that contains four of the world's ten smallest frog species. [40] The largest living amphibian is the 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) [41] but this is a great deal smaller than the largest amphibian that ever existed—the extinct 9 m (30 ft ...
Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. A list of amphibians organizes the class of amphibian by family and subfamilies and mentions the number of species in each of them.
This is a list of official U.S. state, federal district, and territory amphibians. State amphibians are designated by tradition or the respective state legislatures. [1] As of 2023, only 28 states and one territory have a state amphibian.

It is some 600,000 acres (240,000 hectares) in area, more than half of which is vital flatwoods vegetation, which supports many rare plant and ...
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]
“The spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) was designated the official state amphibian of South Carolina in 1999 after a year-long campaign by the third grade class at Woodlands Heights ...
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 largest living amphibian is the 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) South China giant salamander (Andrias sligoi), but this is dwarfed by prehistoric temnospondyls such as Mastodonsaurus which could reach up to 6 m (20 ft) in length. The study of amphibians is called batrachology, while the study of both reptiles and amphibians is called herpetology.
