When it comes to amphibians, there are the heavy-hitters — frogs, toads, salamanders and newts — but you could be forgiven for not realizing there's an entire third order of amphibian: the caecilians.
Looking more like snakes or eels, these limbless amphibians fly (or rather burrow) under most people's radars since they tend to live entirely underground. Some species, however, are purely aquatic, which makes them much easier to see and appreciate.
You can meet some of these secret amphibians in our Rivers of the World gallery!
