Yes, amphibians lay eggs. Most amphibians reproduce by laying eggs in water or in moist environments. These eggs are usually laid in clusters or masses, which helps protect them from predators and provides a stable environment for development.
Amphibians go through a unique life cycle that includes several stages. After the eggs hatch, the larvae (often referred to as tadpoles in frogs) typically live in water and have gills for breathing. As they grow, they undergo metamorphosis, developing lungs and legs for life on land, leading to their adult form. This reproductive method is crucial for their survival, as the moist conditions aid in the healthy development of their aquatic larvae.
