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 we have tried to stay in line with this list as far as possible,
there are a few minor amendments which we 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
Currently, the amphibians section is made up of 16 families (out of a possible 50 families) comprising a total of 68 species and an additional 1 subspecies. (69 taxa in total) |
