Amphibians of Wisconsin

The term amphibian means "both life forms" and refers to a life history that usually requires aquatic and terrestrial (land) habitats. For many of us frogs and toads are part of nature that we have enjoyed since childhood. Salamanders are not as well known as frogs due to their secretive nature, as salamanders are almost exclusively noctural, spending their days under logs or underground. Other amphibians include the lesser known newts, lungless salamanders, mudpuppies, and treefrogs. But degredation of the enviroments we share with these creatures is signaling trouble. Our own lives may depend upon heeding their warnings and being willing to take actions to save them. Wisconsin currently has one amphibian species endangered with extinction.
