Lake Amphibian

A lake amphibian is a type of amphibian that spends part of its life in aquatic environments like lakes. They typically begin life as tadpoles with gills and later develop limbs and lungs for living on land. This dual habitat lifestyle allows them to thrive in both water and on land, serving important ecological roles such as controlling insect populations and serving as prey for other animals. Examples include frogs, toads, and newts. Their ability to adapt to aquatic and terrestrial habitats makes them essential indicators of environmental health.
