amphibian families
     
The taxonomy for amphibians used on this website is based on Darrel Frost's Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. For those who might be interested, additional information on this database of amphibian taxonomy can be found at http://research.amnh.org/herpetology/amphibia/index.php. Whilst I have tried to stay in line with this list as far as possible, there are a few minor amendments which I have made based on information gleaned from elsewhere.

This website is regularly updated with new photos (both improvements on existing species as well as additional species not featured before) and, where there have been updates, an indication will be given next to the link below.

Currently, the amphibians section is made up of 13 families (out of a possible 50 families) comprising a total of 47 species and an additional 0 subspecies. (47 taxa in total)
