Amphibian Development
Amphibian development refers to the process by which amphibians such as frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts grow and mature from eggs to adults. This includes stages such as egg fertilization, embryonic development, larval stages, metamorphosis, and finally reaching sexual maturity. Amphibians typically undergo a complex life cycle that involves both aquatic and terrestrial environments, with many species transitioning from breathing through gills as larvae to lungs as adults. The development of amphibians is often influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and moisture levels, which can impact the timing and success of their growth and survival.
