Amphibians

Amphibians are animals that lead a double life. They are dependant on water to breed, and to keep their skin moist in order to survive. However, all amphibian species do not need to live in the water as adults.

All frogs & toads and salamanders belong to the amphibian group. 

Great Horned Owl  

Did You Know?
An owl's eyes are fixed in place because their large size provides no room for muscle. To compensate for this, it can turn its head in almost any direction and angle, including the ability to rotate its head nearly 280 degrees. By comparison, people can only turn their heads a mere 90 degrees!
