There are about 4000 known species of amphibians living on earth today, most of which are frogs and toads. The modern salamanders and newts (the caudates or Caudata) constitute just a small part of the class Amphibia, with about 350 species confined to the Americas and the temperate zones of Europe, Asia, and North Africa.
When one takes into consideration the total numbers of amphibian species and all of the other groups of animals and plants (totaling well over a million species, it is not surprising that a certain amount of confusion existed (and to some extent still does in many cases).

Including the leptospondyles – from which the lines leading to modern caecilians and caudates (tailed amphibians) developed – and the labyrinthodonts – from which the line leading to modern anurans (frogs and toads) developed. (Many herpetologists today believe that frogs, caudates and caecilians share a common ancestor rather than evolving from two separate groups of early amphibians.)
A large gap in geological time separates the leptospondyles and labyrinthodonts from the modern salamanders and frogs. The first frog-like creatures appeared in the early Triassic period, about 225 million years ago. While frogs have evolved to take up a great many habitats on land, the salamanders have retained a great many superficially primitive amphibian characteristics and have in the main remained more dependent on a watery environment than have the anurans.

Triturus Cristatus is one of those species normally called a newt. Although it may be almost totally aquatic in some parts or its range, it is best known for entering breeding ponds in the spring after spending a period of hibernation in a deep cavity during the winter. The breeding season varies with the part of the range, but in central Europe the newts enter the breeding ponds in about mid-March.

To this group belong most of the limbless lizards. The creatures discussed here are those that live underground all or most of the time. Typically these lizards are specialized by having cylindrical bodies, pointed snouts, reduced eyes, and the external ear absent. The nostril is usually set horizontally, as opposed to facing upward in most lizards. The head shields are usually enlarged.
Those families whose members are fossorial are the Dibamidae, Anniellidae, some Scincidae, and some Pygopodidae. The earless monitor, Lanthanotus, may be fossorial or at least semifossorial. The genus Dibamus contains six diminutive species found in Southeast Asia. The largest may be eight inches long and the body is very thin as well.

To date, only one living lizard is known to be marine. This is the Galapagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus. Found most often on the rocky shores of its island home, this lizard will forage in the ocean for its meal of seaweed. This lizard is not a very good swimmer, merely adequate. It can reduce its heartbeat and other bodily functions, probably as an aid in adjusting to the two environments in which it lives.While Amblyrhynchus is unique in being marine, there exist many aquatic or semiaquatic lizards.

At the time of this writing work is being done to determine if the two similar groups formerly known as Dibamidae and Anelytropsidae should be united. Because they are so similar, I have decided to incorporate them here but will provide descriptions which divide the two genera. Functional limbs absent. Tongue short, slightly nicked, and covered with papillae. Palate toothless. Arches absent. Pelvic and pectoral girdles greatly reduced. Eyes and ears concealed by skin. Teeth few, recurved, conical.
The genus Anelytropsis contains one species, A. papillosus. Interorbital septum and columella cranii well developed. Premaxillary bone single. Osteoderms present. No sign of external limbs. This lizard is fossorial and is found in east-central Mexico. It is a fleshy brown above and yellowish below. It has been caught only a very few times and remains known from a dozen specimens. Its diet is suspected to consist of ants and termites.
Dibamus is a genus of some six species distributed in the East Indies between India and New Guinea. The interorbital septum and columella cranii are absent. Premaxillary paired. Osteoderms absent. Males have vestigial traces of hindlimbs. They are usually an olive drab color. These lizards are very slender bodied, secretive, forest-dwelling fossorial animals. They lay hard-shelled eggs, sometimes in communal sites, and are insect eaters.

The Chaco tortoise is a relatively small tortoise that reaches an adult size of approximately 10 inches. The carapace shape is round to slightly oval and tends to be more flat over the top than domed. The marginal scutes show a hint of being serrated but not to an extreme. Even then they are usually warn down to where it is hardly noticeable. The scales on the forelimbs are very pronounced. The head shape is the most distinguishing aspect in that it appears disproportionately large and blocky in form. Another distinctive aspect of the head is that the beak is noticeably cuspid under the nasals. The color of the tortoise can range from gray to caramel to dark brown, depending on the age. In general, lighter animals are older and darker animals younger.

South America is home to three types of tortoises. Those tortoises are the ever popular red-footed tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria), yellow-footed tortoise (G.denticulata) and the little-known Chaco tortoise (G. chilensis). The Chaco tortoise was at one time very popular among American tortoisekeepers and still is in South America, but due to ever increasing restrictions on exportation it is becoming ever more rare in collections outside of its native range.
Those that are found in collections today are usually remnants of days past or are part of the small number currently allowed to be exported. Although the Chaco tortoise can be very hardy, it has proven to be extremely difficult to acclimate to captivity as is evident by its absence in collections today considering the large numbers that were imported in the past.

There are a few major differences between the northern and southern tortoises. The northern form, or G.petersi, is usually smaller in size as adults. The color is also generally darker in the northern form. There are also some behavioral differences. Because the climate is not as harsh on the north, the northern tortoises are reported not to dig burrows as do the southern tortoises. This might explain the distinctive annular rings that are found on the tortoises from the north and not the south. Both groups go into an estivation period during harsh weather conditions, such as winter or extreme summers, but you really wouldn’t call it hibernation.

There are two recognized forms, Geochelone (Chelonoidis) chilensis and G. (C.) petersi, but there is debate as to whether these are distinct species or regionally different populations of the same species. Regardless of the actual species status, the two populations do seem to be different. Geochelone petersi occurs in the central to northern part of the range, and G. chilensis occurs in the extreme southern part of the range that tends to have a cooler and harsher environment than the northern part of the range. It’s interesting to note that a recent study on the Galapagos tortoise using DNA analysis revealed that the closest living mainland tortoise related to the Galapagos was the Chaco. This fact stirs the imagination as to how that relationship came about.
