EDGE Amphibians - Evolutionarily Distinct & Globally Endangered
If you thought the EDGE Mammals were
strange, we now invite you to enter a world
where creatures give birth through the skin of
their back, can live without lungs, and may
survive without food for over ten years.
Some EDGE amphibians, such as the Chinese
giant salamander and axolotl are relatively well
known, but others, such as the lungless salamanders
of Central America, the worm-like Sagalla caecilian, and
the mouth brooding Chile Darwin frogs (which carry their
young in their vocal sac), remain poorly understood.
