A
Hi
everyone
it's
alan
explorer
here
from
we
critters
I'm
delighted
to
welcome
you
back
to
today's
video.
If
you're
new
here
make
sure
you
check
out
our
last
videos
in
this
video,
I'm
going
to
introduce
you
to
a
totally
awesome
member
of
my
weekenders
family
and
talk
about
some
amazing
amphibians.
So
what
is
an
amphibian
amphibians
are
cold-blooded.
A
They
have
got
moist
skin.
These
guys
lay
eggs,
but
it's
not
like
bird
sex.
They
lay
it
in
water
and
wet
places.
These
eggs,
hatch
out
into
tadpoles
and
tadpoles,
usually
are
in
water
and
ponds
and
streams,
their
little
heads
and
little
tails
and
what
happens
over
time
they
metamorphise.
So
that
means
that
they
grow
into
little.
Frogs
are
told
so
they'll
gradually
grow,
their
back
legs
grow
their
front
legs
and
the
tail
will
disappear
until
they
turn
into
little
frogs
and
toads.
A
Now
amphibians,
as
I
mentioned
actually
like
to
live
in,
and
around
water
and
wet
places
and
they're,
quite
ancient
group
of
species
of
animals
that
have
been
on
earth
for
a
very
long
time.
The
largest
amphibian
in
the
world
is
a
giant
chinese
salamander
and
they
can
get
about
a
meter
long.
They
look
like
big
lizards,
but
they
spend
their
whole
life
in
the
rivers
of
china
or
japan,
and
the
largest
frog
in
the
world
is
called
a
goliath
frog
and
they
get
about
the
size.
A
A
lot
bigger,
the
first
animal
I'm
going
to
introduce
you
to
today
is
trevor,
and
this
is
trevor.
Trevor
is
what's
called
a
cane
toad
and
he's
the
largest
species
of
toad
in
the
world.
Now
cane
toads
originate
from
the
rain
forest
of
south
america
and
they
like
to
live
on
the
ground
in
the
leaf
litter.
You
can
see
he's
got
this
lovely
brown
color.
Okay,
that
helps
him,
camouflage
to
make
sure
that
he's
not
seen
by
predators
in
the
leaf
litter
and
he
will
sit
there
and
wait
for
his
prey
or
his
food.
Now.
A
Frogs
and
toads
are
carnivores,
so
they
will
eat
lots
of
bugs
insects
and
other
animals
and
cane
toads
are
actually
partial
to
any
smaller
animal.
They
will
even
eat
smaller
cane
toads
other
frogs
birds.
Any
live
animal
that
can
fit
in
their
mouth
you
can
tell
trevor
is
a
toad
and
not
a
frog,
because
he
has
this
lovely
bumpy
skin.
It's
slightly
drier
than
frog
skins.
A
Now
amphibians
have
moist
skin
because
they
actually
need
to
breathe
through
their
skin
as
well
as
through
their
lungs,
so
they
always
need
to
have
damp
moisture
and
that's
why
they
live
in
wet
places
and
trevor
loves
to
live
in
the
wet
tropical
rainforest
of
south
america.
If
you
look
closely
at
the
front
of
trevor's
head,
you
can
see
he's
got
these
two
large
glands
in
either
side
of
his
head.
If
I
was
to
squeeze
this,
which
I'm
not
going
to
do,
there's
actually
a
like
a
poison
would
come
out
of
that.
A
It's
like
a
thick,
yellow
paste
and
that's
to
defend
themselves
from
predators
if
a
predator
tries
to
eat
these
or
even
their
tadpole
babies
now
cain
told
us
to
say,
originate
from
south
america,
but
years
ago
they
were
introduced
into
other
countries
around
the
world,
such
as
hawaii
and
australia,
and
the
reason
they
were
done
that
they
were
introduced
is
because
they
wanted
them
to
eat.
A
pest
type
beetle
called
a
cane
beetle
that
was
found
in
the
sugar
sugar
cane
plantations.
A
There
are
now
millions
of
these
guys
in
the
wild
and
they're
a
really
big
pest
they're
eating
lots
of
the
native
australian
animals
and
some
of
the
australian
and
carnivores
that
are
used
to
eating
frogs
and
toads
annoy
eating
these
guys
and
they're
becoming
very
sick,
because
these
are
poisonous
so
they're
actually
endangered
species
in
australia.
Now,
because
these
guys
have
been
introduced
into
the
country,
frogs
and
toads
make
a
series
of
different
calls.
Lots
of
people
think
only
frogs
and
toads
will
rivet.
A
Okay,
they
make
a
riveting
noise,
but
they
can
actually
make
lots
of
different
noises.
And
if
you
went
into
the
rainforest
at
nighttime,
you
will
hear
a
chorus
of
frogs
and
toads
calling
to
each
other.
Sometimes
they
can
sound
like
little
little
squeaks
other
time.
They
can
be
big
large
crooks,
and
quite
often
it
is
the
male
frog
or
two
that
will
be
calling
to
try
and
get
a
girlfriend
okay.
They
will
be
using
their
big
throat
pouch
underneath
here,
to
call
and
attract
a
mate,
so
they
can
have
lots
of
little
baby
cane
toads.
A
A
female
cane
toad
can
actually
produce
up
to
25
000
eggs
a
year
okay,
so
you
can
see
very
quickly
that
these
guys
can
over
populate
a
country
if,
if
they
can,
if
they
come
to
it
and
they're,
not
meant
to
be
there,
they
can
have
lots
and
lots
of
babies.
A
Now
there
are
over
7
000
species
of
amphibians
in
the
world,
so
lots
and
lots
of
different
species
of
amphibians
in
the
world,
but
nearly
2
000
of
those
are
threatened
with
extinction
and
that's
because
of
global
warming,
the
world's
becoming
a
lot
warmer,
and
with
that
there's
becoming
a
fungus.
There's
a
fungus
called
the
keturah
fungus
and
it
actually
affects
the
skin
of
the
frogs
and
toads.
It
makes
them
very
sick
and
unfortunately,
they
will
die
from
that.
A
Nearly
2
000
species
of
amphibians,
so
frogs
toads,
eats
and
salamanders
are
thought
to
will
become
extinct
in
the
next
20
years.
If
we
cannot
find
a
cure
for
this
virus,
like
trevor
has
a
very
interesting
and
quite
sad
start
in
life.
He
was
donated
to
we
critters.
Basically,
someone
was
keeping
him
as
a
pet
and
he
wasn't
being
looked
after
properly.
They
were
keeping
him
in
a
little
plastic
box
and
he
wasn't.
He
couldn't
really
feed.
He
wasn't
warm
enough.
A
Obviously,
the
best
place
for
all
animals
would
be
out
in
the
wild,
but
he
was
already
in
captivity.
We
offered
him
a
home.
We
gave
him
a
lovely
large
enclosure
with
natural
plants
pearls
to
dip
in
and
he
actually
lives
with
two
other
toads
as
well
for
company
and
very
quickly.
He
started
eating
and
putting
on
a
lot
of
weight
so
he's
very
healthy.
A
Now
it's
so
important
little
explorers
to
remember
if
you
keep
a
pet,
whether
it's
a
dog,
a
cat,
a
goldfish
or
something
a
little
bit
more
exotic,
you
need
to
give
it
the
care
that
it
deserves.
Okay,
to
make
sure
that
it
has
everything
it
needs
to
have
a
healthy
and
happy
life
trevor
is
called
trevor
because,
if
you're
any
harry
potter
fans
out
there,
you
may
know
that
neville's
toad
in
harry
potter
is
called
trevor
and
his
two
friends
that
he
lives
with
are
called
ron
and
neville.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Now
level
explorers,
let
me
introduce
you
to
frank,
frank:
is
our
male
white
tree
frog?
These
guys
come
from
the
rain
forest
of
australia
and
new
guinea,
and
he,
although
he's
called
the
white's
tree
frog,
you
can
see
he's
actually
a
briny
color
at
the
moment
he
can
change
color,
though
he
can
change
to
a
lovely,
bright,
green
color
to
help
him
camouflage
in
with
the
leaves,
and
these
guys
like
to
live
high
up
in
the
trees.
A
Unlike
trevor,
the
toad
who
lives
down
the
ground
they
like
to
live
high
on
the
trees
and
they've
got
special
suckers
on
their
feet
to
help
them
climb
and
hold
on
to
the
leaves
and
just
like
trevor.
The
toad
frank
is
a
nocturnal
species,
so
they
come
out
at
night.
Now
in
our
wee
country,
we
only
have
two
species
of
amphibians.
We
have
the
common
frog,
which
many
of
you
have
probably
seen,
and
then
we
also
have
what's
called
the
smooth
newt,
it's
a
little
small
amphibian.
A
It
looks
like
a
little
tiny,
lizard
and
they're
a
bit
rarer
to
see
now
and
aren't
we
country
and
our
frogs
and
toads
will
hibernate
through
the
winter.
So
the
best
time
to
see
frogs
and
toads
will
be
the
spring.
You'll
see
lots
of
activity
in
around
ponds
and
streams,
and
that's
where
our
common
frogs
will
be
laying
their
big
piles
of
frog
spawn
and
waiting
for
them
to
hatch
out
into
tadpoles.
A
Now,
as
I
mentioned
already,
lots
of
frogs
and
toads
are
in
trouble
around
the
world
and
our
frogs
and
youths,
and
are
we
contrary
in
trouble
as
well?
So
it's
so
important
little
explorers,
if
you're
ever
in
an
outdoor
space
in
your
garden
and
have
a
pool
or
a
pond
or
river,
make
sure
that
it's
nice
and
clean
make
sure
nobody's,
throwing
the
rubbish
down.
Okay,
make
sure
it
goes
into
bins
and
you're
recycling
at
home,
because
we
don't
want
the
water
to
get
polluted
to
make
the
frogs
and
toads
sick.
A
If
you
want
to
encourage
amphibians
like
frogs
and
toads
in
your
garden,
you
can
build
your
very
own
little
pond
and
plant
native
wildfires
and
plants
around
it.
Tin
cards
insect
life
and
bugs
and
don't
put
any
goldfish
or
things
like
that
in
your
ponds,
because
they
will
eat
the
little
tadpoles
and
stuff
like
that,
keep
it
nice
and
native
and
the
frogs
and
the
newts
will
come,
and
you
can
actually
help
conserve
these
guys
on
our
very
own
gardens.
Now.
A
I
hope
you've
enjoyed
today's
video
learning
about
frogs,
toads,
youth,
salamanders
and
other
amphibians.
Please
watch
out
for
our
next
videos,
where
we'll
introduce
you
to
some
of
our
other
amazing.
