Extractions: Amphibians lay their eggs in water, and young amphibians tend to resemble small fish. The tadpole, or newborn frog, is born and lives in water. It has a tail that allows it to swim like a fish. It also has gills so that it can breathe under water. As the tadpole grow into a frog, it loses its gills and tail, and develops legs for moving on land. Most amphibians can both walk and swim in water. Index of Animals Vertebrate Animals Invertebrate Animals Web Links ... Science Main Index Depending on the species of amphibian, breathing can take place in gills, lungs, the lining of the mouth, the skin, or some combination of these. Amphibians body temperature changes with its environment. In cold climates, amphibians hibernate during the winter.

CR Handbook : One Article Costa Rica is home to approximately 150 species of amphibians and more than 200 species of reptiles, half of them snakes. The most common reptile you'll see is the dragonlike, tree-dwelling green iguana, which seems to have little fear of man and can grow to two meters in length. You'll spot it often in moist deciduous habitats, crawling through the forest leaf litter or basking on branches that hang over water, its preferred route of escape when threatened. There's no mistaking this reptilian nightmare for any other lizard. Its headthe size of a man's fistis crested with a frightening wig of leathery spines, its heavy body encased in a scaly hide, deeply wrinkled around the sockets of its muscular legs. Despite its menacing One Million Years B.C. appearance, it is quite harmless, a nonbelligerent vegetarian. Local gourmands, for reasons you may not wish to know, call the iguana the "tree chicken." Its cousin, the ctenosaur ( iguana negra ) is considered more edible, and you may see them on sale in

Extractions: "Air is the sweetest taste, though one must risk drowning to appreciate it." -Larry Niven, The Smoke Ring New Stuff: Here's a link to my brother's Virtual Hike of the Appalachian Trail (Georgia to Maine) My brother and I have been paddling since June of 1995, and since that time I've tried to shoot video of each river we've run. They include: The Chattooga (Section 4) The North Chickamauga (Bowling Alley section) The Hiwassee The Little River Canyon (Alabama) The Nantahala The Ocoee The Tellico Each of the hotlinks above points to a virtual tour (and a tip-o-the brain bucket to Dan Lykes' Virtual Ocoee Tour for pioneering that concept). Additionally, there's a section of miscellaneous photographs by the author and others As you can tell, we're still somewhat novice paddlers, although we've had some solid Class IV runs. We got back into paddling after a ten-year hiatus during which our Mom's Hollowform moldered in the garage. Last summer we strapped it to the top of my brother's jeep (it overhung each end by about two feet) and went to the lake for roll practice. Rolling a Hollowform is akin to rolling a twelve-foot can of Red, White, and Blue Beer...which is to say dern near impossible. After much frustration and little success, we both bought real boats: a Crossfire and then an Acrobat 270 for me, and a Corsica for him.

Extractions: Last updated 9 March 2000 AMPHIBIANS. Amphibians and reptiles are often associated with each other, both by those who love them and those who loathe them, by the expert and the ignoramus. They are also often confused with each other, often fatally to the individual animals concerned. People who keep reptiles often also keep amphibians. Amphibians are certainly not reptiles, although physiologically they have a few things in common apart from the fact that representatives of both classes live in or near to water. (Ask a layman for the difference between a reptile and an amphibian and he may associate the first with deserts and the second with water, something of an oversimplification given that the world's largest freshwater predators are all reptilian). Both are cold-blooded or ectothermic , meaning that they derive their body heat from the external environment rather than from an internal mechanism as mammals and birds do. Both share the general characteristics of the vertebrate phylum, ie the same general skeletal plan and internal organs, and both are usually egg-layers. The chief differences are that amphibians have a moist, somewhat porous skin (partly to aid in breathing), whereas reptiles have a watertight, thick scaly skin, and that amphibians must normally return to water to breed, whereas reptiles lay their eggs on land. There are exceptions to all these general characteristics, but usually they are the exceptions that prove the rule.
