Amphibians, The
- 1981 ----- color ----- 24 min ----- 16mm
- (Life on Earth series, Part 13) The remains of extinct, giant amphibians and the bizarre reproductive habits of modern-day frogs are investigated. Certain species of frogs secrete poison; others simply conceal themselves in plants or underground. Their extensive tongue enables them to capture their prey. Blinking eyes control muscles which aid them in swallowing and digesting their food. With their feeble lungs, they emit a variety of sounds. The rainy season induces mating and egg-laying. Moisture is mandatory for the amphibians to survive.
