Amphibians:I

   I know what your saying that you don't need to learn about this because you learned about frogs already,well you do because there are more than just frogs in the amphibian group and I am going to blog about them.

  The first thing I am going to blog about is the characteristics of AMPHIBIAN'S!First amphibian means double life that means in their life they live in water and on land.Amphibians have smooth slimy skin and must keep it moist or they will suffocate.There are three groups of amphibians frogs and toads,newts and salamanders and Sicilian.

  The frog I am going to blog about is the leaf frog.The leaf frog blends in with the fallen leaves in autumn.It is very small and relies on it's camouflage to survive an not be eaten.

The next thing I am going to do is blog about is the green toad.Personally I think it is ugly.The green toad  can be found in praries next to rocks.

The next one is the hammerhead salamander.It has a head like a hammer you could of guessed.It has smooth moist skin like other amphibians.This is my favorite amphibian.  

  

Seahorses,Porcupine fish and Hagfish wierd fish

    Seahorses' mouths look like a horse's mouth.There are about 40 species of seahorses.They live in shallow water and in tropical climates.Seahorses swim upright which means like it is standing up.When seahorses reproduce the male has the babies.That is possible because the female gives the male the eggs.Then a couple weeks later they hatch and swim away in the sea.

Porcupine fish are small,until they blow up like a beach ball!The reason they blow up is to protect itself from being eaten.They suck in water or air through it's mouth.It's bladder is full of poison.They have little spines on the outside of their body.They can also return to their normal size after their predator goes away.The puffer fish is a close relative to the porcupine fish.

The next fish is the hagfish.It does not have a jaw or any bones.It's skin is poisones.It has lower teeth.They are like a worm a slimy discusting worm.

  Flying fish can not actually fly,instead they glide.Flying fish can have either four or two fins.There are about fifty species of flying fish.When flying fish reproduce the females lay their eggs on a sturdy object like a big broken pine tree limb.Flying fish can jump 3 feet into the air,are about 15-18 inches long when they are full grown,can almost go 40 miles per hour, and can glide around 660 feet in one jump.



The last one is the salmon.Salmon reproduce where they were born.They can change from a fresh water fish to a salt water fish.After they are a year old they travel back to where they were born and reproduce.Many salmon die after reaching their destination and the cycle starts all over again.
