Amphibians
- Toads, frogs and salamanders are the most prominent types of
amphibians. Typically small animals with moist skin,
amphibians are animals that live two lives - one on land and
another in the water. Generally amphibians grow up living in
water with gills during juveniles stages. As amphibians mature
they often loose their ability to 'breathe water' and instead
become obligate air breathers that often live in close
proximity to lakes, streams or other sources of water.
Amphibians are cold blooded and typically live either in the
ground and ground litter or near water. The prominent
exception is toads which are abundant in some deserts.

Birds
- Found through-out the world, birds exist in a wide
variety of shapes, sizes and of course colors. With
distinctive coloring as a hallmark, birds are among the most recognized, and charismatic of all
creatures which draw our attention because of their two most
obvious characteristics - flight and feathers.

Fish
- Adapted to life in water, fish are found in our oceans, -
from freezing water near the poles to the warm tropical coral
reefs - lakes and rivers. Despite being a single group, fish
are actually several groups of species which have been lumped
together - bony fish, cartilageonous fish and jawless fish.
Additionally, fish can be differentiated base on the
environments they are adapted to with fish typically being
restricted to life in either freshwater or salt water, while a
few species such as salmon spend parts of their lives in both
fresh- and salt water.
