"Amphibians are animals that lead a strange double-life," writes Steve Parker in the book
Awesome Amphibians. They can breathe in the water or on land. In school I learned that amphibians can't live in saltwater or in Antarctica. Some amphibians like the poison dart frog are venomous to eat or even to touch because they have venom glands on their skin.

Poison dart frogs live in Central and South America, but I have seen amphibians closer to home. I spotted this frog in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Central New York. Can you see him?

I also saw an Eastern red spotted newt in Taconic State Park. Isn't he cute?
