Amphibia Web ('M' 'H')
Great search tool for amphibian information, and especially for
amphibian declines throughout the world. According to their web
site, "Amphibia Web already offers ready access to taxonomic
information for every recognized species of amphibian in the world"
and this includes species lists, reasons for declines, photos, and
frog calls. "Watch List" included. Part of the Digital Library
Project at the University of California, Berkeley.

Part of the "Whole Frog" Project. this rich site allows
interactive dissection of a frog, including the capability to make

Frog Dissection: The "Whole Frog" Project ('H')
In their words "The goal of the Whole Frog Project is to provide
high school biology classes the ability to explore the anatomy of a
frog by using data from high resolution MRI imaging and from
mechanical sectioning, together with 3D surface and volume rendering
software to visualize the anatomical structures of the intact
animal."
