In Amphibians, you'll take a close-up look at the amazing world of the first animals to live both in water and on land. See how a frog's digestive system is similar to a human's and find out how a salamander cane scape its enemies by breaking off its tail. Discover how the gastric brooding frog develops its tadpoles in its stomach and how, when they are ready to hatch, they jump out of their mother's mouth! One of the largest poisonous frogs of Central America actually has enough poison to kill more than 20,000 white mice at one time! All these exciting discoveries are waiting for you--they are a part of OUR LIVING WORLD. And you're a part of it, too.
