Amphibian Ark

Okay kiddo, do you know what amphibians are? They are creatures like frogs, toads and salamanders that can live both on land and in water. But did you know that they are now in danger? Lots of them are sick or dying, and some of them have even disappeared forever.

That's why some grown-ups have decided to build a special place called an Amphibian Ark. It's kind of like a hospital for these sick amphibians where they can feel safe and get better.

The Amphibian Ark has lots of different rooms that are just right for different kinds of amphibians. For example, there may be a room with a big tank of water for the frogs that like to swim a lot. And other rooms may have cozy spots for the ones that like to burrow and dig.

These rooms are made really safe from all kinds of bad things that can harm the amphibians, like disease and predators. The people who take care of the amphibians are really careful to make sure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy.

Once the amphibians are feeling better and stronger, they can go back to their homes in the wild. But, the people at the Amphibian Ark also work to make sure that the places where the amphibians live in the wild are safe and protected too, so the amphibians won't get sick again.

By taking such good care of our amphibian friends, we can help make sure they don't disappear forever.
