Amphibiens - Biodiversité des amphibiens (129) Images supplémentaires...
According to the 2009 IUCN Red List, 1895 of the known 6285 species of amphibians are currently threatened. More than 120 species may have become extinct in the last 25 years. As part of International Year of Biodiversity, we are highlighting Nature Picture Library's
fantastic archive of the frogs, toads, newts and salamanders of the world.


From the Italian Cave Salamander to the Lake Titicaca Giant Frog, we can help with in-depth
coverage on this threatened animal group, which includes the bizarre axolotl and the strange caecilian. The critically endangered axolotl lives it whole life in its larval stage, while the caecilian mother feeds her young by shedding her own skin.
