《Les animaux du monde :》Chapitre 4: les batraciens ou amphibiens
Advertisement
Les Batraciens, apparus il y a 350 millions d'années environ à partir des poissons à nageoires charnues ( Crossoptérygiens ), sont les premiers Vertébrés tétrapodes à quatre pattes.
Leurs membres et leurs poumons ont permis à ces animaux, exclusivement aquatiques à l'origine, de conquérir peu à peu les continents.
De nos jours, il existe à peu près 3000 espèces de Batraciens répandues dans le monde entier, à l'expédition des régions polaires.
Le plus grand d'entre eux , la salamandre géante du Japon ( Andrias maximums ), peut mesurer 1,60 m de long.
La plus grosse grenouille est la grenouille géante ( Rana Goliath), une espèce africaine qui peut mesurer 40 cm et peser plus de 5 kg.
À l'autre bout de l'échelle, la plus petite salamandre ( genre Parvimolge ) mesure
4 cm, tandis que la petite grenouille du genre Afrixalus ne dépasse pas 1,7 à 3 cm.
Les Batraciens adultes possèdent des poumons et vivent parfois loin de l'eau, mais aucune espèce ne s'est totalement affranchie du milieu aquatique.
Les larves possèdent des branchies et, à de rares exceptions près, se développent dans l'eau.
C'est à travers une peau fine et humide que se fait une partie la respiration des Batraciens.
Par ailleurs, ce sont les seuls Vertébrés tétrapodes à subir une métamorphose.

Chronicles Of The Storylord: 12th Chronicle - Origin
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universe(s), and were given a grace period in which they would experience a relatively safe expansion of their domains. Once that period is up, however, they are free to interact with each other...and what lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. I am the 12th soul, but I am not as those others are, for I am merely a shard. My purpose: begin the Tale anew. For I am the Storylord, and I am the Tale. The Tale is all, and all is the Tale, yet the Tale is myself, for I am all in my domain. This is my story, the saga of many, the legend… of the Tale. Just remember this: “This world is but a story, and all the stories are true...” This story is in the same general multiverse as RE: Deity by lightningwarrior21, but will be almost completely separate except in a few chapters. I have permission from him to use his base multiverse, and you should go check out his fiction, it’s really good. http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9597 This ‘fiction’ will be updated sporadically, so don’t expect much of a steady stream of chapters. (I’ll try to do one chapter a week, but no promises.) Suggestions on how to improve this universe helps with the management, so comments are welcome, as are Grammar Nazis. I’ve had this fiction mostly as scattered notes in my google drive, and only recently had enough time to actually put it together, like I promised lightning back in January. (Writer’s block and schoolwork do not mix well.) The cover is not owned by me, I found the image on google images. Anyway, I’ll be back yesterday… or was that tomorrow? (I really need to get that damn causality generator fixed, me-damnit!) See ya!
