Australian amphibians are a diverse group native to the continent and surrounding islands. These unique creatures are known for their ability to live both on land and in water, undergoing a process called metamorphosis during their lifecycle. Australia boasts over 200 species of amphibians, including frogs, toads, and salamanders. They thrive in various habitats, from lush forests and grasslands to arid deserts and alpine environments. Amphibians act as both predators and prey, and help control the populations of other organisms. Despite their ecological importance, many Australian amphibian species face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and introduced predators.
