Posted by: Knot at Sat Jul 26 11:46:58 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Knot ] Well, amphibians actually like cooler temperature. Salamanders and frogs have been found during the spring crawling and walking on snow and even are active and mating in cold water. From what I read from my zoology book and "Reptiles and Amphibians for Dummies" by Patricia Barlett it saids that Amphibian can tolerate cool temperature. In the prehistoria, where the temperature is too cold for for crocodiles and other reptiles, amphibians thrive and are active in freezing water. One species of giant salamader in Japan are active during the time when the water is freezing cold. I'm not sure why amphibians can tolerate cold, but I think they have something in the blood that prevent them from freezing and they have, I think higher metabolism than reptiles...I have to read more on this. | ||
