A summary of what an Amphibian is.

Amphibians are omnivorous, aquatic, and terrestrial vertebrates that have a very unique birth-adolescent-adult life cycle and undergo metamorphosis upon completion of this cycle to allow them to live their adult lives at their peak capacity. Amphibians are cold-blooded by nature and have very unique skin that must remain moist as much as possible in order to facilitate their breathing cycles and natural protection against the elements and other predators. Amphibians boast a wide variety of skin coloring from drab coloring that matches dirt or earth to exotic neon colors that act as a natural warning system to would-be predators.
