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.
