ʻO ka helu o nā laha hou o nā amphibians tailless i koho ʻia ma nā kaukani. A he mea hoihoi loa ko lākou lālā. Inā hiki iā lākou ke hanu ʻaʻole wale me ka waha a me ka māmā, akā me ka ʻili pū kekahi.

Akā lāʻau ʻino lāʻau lau ʻaneʻane hōʻino ʻole, no ka mea ʻo nā lāhui ʻona loa, e laʻa me Cuban a i ʻole toad-like, e hūnā i nā enzyme wale nō i hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki i ka wela a i ʻole ka huhū o nā mea lahilahi o nā maka a me ka waha. A ma hope o ka pā ʻana i ko lākou ʻili, pono ʻoe e holoi i kou mau lima, a ʻaʻohe mea hou aʻe.
ʻO kēlā mau amphibians kahi ʻohana āpau: nā rana lāʻau. A ʻaʻole i hāʻawi wale ʻia ka inoa o kona mau lunamakaʻāinana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole like me nā rana maʻamau, kahi e ʻū ai nā kāne wale nō me ka manaʻolana e ʻumeʻume i ka maka o nā ipo hāmau, leo nui nā rana a me nā "lede".
