Like other amphibians, oxygen can pass through their highly permeable skins.

Due to their permeable skin, frogs are often semi-aquatic or inhabit humid areas, but move easily on land.

The thin permeable skin allows moisture to flow into the animal rather than out of it.

Amphibians are particularly prone to dehydration because of their permeable skins.

Frogs and other amphibians have very permeable skin, which makes them very sensitive to changes in the environment, whether water or the air.

Aquatic turtles have developed more permeable skin, and some species have modified their cloaca to increase the area for gas exchange.

With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often considered to be ecological indicators.

As with all frogs, they have permeable skin and should not be handled whenever possible.

It, like many of the highly poisonous dendrobatids, secretes batrachotoxins through its permeable skin.

Their permeable skins, however, still dictate that their surroundings are to be moist if the animals are to avoid death by desiccation.
