Can amphibians live in dry deserts?

 

               The bodies of some frogs and toads are adapted to survive in very dry conditions in deserts. During the brief rainy season, their bodies absorb huge amounts of water and become swollen like a bladder. These frogs and toads bury themselves deep in the ground to protect themselves from the heat and Sun. They can survive for several years if necessary, until the next rains arrive. Once the rain comes, the amphibians emerge from their underground holes and breed quickly, laying their eggs in puddles. The tadpoles develop very rapidly before the puddles dry up.
