Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are
grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar
clusters, globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies
enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as
10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed
superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty
members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies:
Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum
Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of
Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainders are

hearts and are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such salamanders, are even like lizards.
However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies.
Furthermore, the eggs of amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places.
Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae of most
amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as
they develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes
in handy when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take
in the small amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as
a “double metamorphosis”, changing not only gill breathers to breathers but also from
vegetarians to insectivores.
Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are
three major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures. Caudate
amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salientians, which
include both frogs and toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads differ from frogs
primarily in that they have dry, warty skin.

A. define and describe amphibians
B. contrast different types of amphibians
C. trace the development of amphibians from larvae to adults
D. explain how amphibians differ from other creatures
