《Les animaux du monde :》Chapitre 4: les batraciens ou amphibiens
Advertisement
Les Batraciens, apparus il y a 350 millions d'années environ à partir des poissons à nageoires charnues ( Crossoptérygiens ), sont les premiers Vertébrés tétrapodes à quatre pattes.
Leurs membres et leurs poumons ont permis à ces animaux, exclusivement aquatiques à l'origine, de conquérir peu à peu les continents.
De nos jours, il existe à peu près 3000 espèces de Batraciens répandues dans le monde entier, à l'expédition des régions polaires.
Le plus grand d'entre eux , la salamandre géante du Japon ( Andrias maximums ), peut mesurer 1,60 m de long.
La plus grosse grenouille est la grenouille géante ( Rana Goliath), une espèce africaine qui peut mesurer 40 cm et peser plus de 5 kg.
À l'autre bout de l'échelle, la plus petite salamandre ( genre Parvimolge ) mesure
4 cm, tandis que la petite grenouille du genre Afrixalus ne dépasse pas 1,7 à 3 cm.
Les Batraciens adultes possèdent des poumons et vivent parfois loin de l'eau, mais aucune espèce ne s'est totalement affranchie du milieu aquatique.
Les larves possèdent des branchies et, à de rares exceptions près, se développent dans l'eau.
C'est à travers une peau fine et humide que se fait une partie la respiration des Batraciens.
Par ailleurs, ce sont les seuls Vertébrés tétrapodes à subir une métamorphose.

The Ties That Bind
John Divine avoided home like it was riddled with disease, returning long enough each year to visit the few people he cared about and then leaving before the person he avoided was informed he was there. But when he returned home to find his brother, all that anonymity went out the window. Cameras, paparazzi, and every other snake who could go crawling back to their master with whatever they could gather about him were lined up to poke and prod at whatever little tidbits about him they could gather. Thrust back into the spotlight and his mothers crosshairs, he will need to save his family, stand his ground, and find himself along the way. A list easy enough to accomplish, unless you happen to be a reincarnated grecian diety. Dawn was a hard worker. She worked for a local restaurant, helped her aunts run their store, and was a typical mid-twenties american girl. That is until she met a not so local anymore man by the name of John. Now shes solving ancient riddles, narrowly avoiding her own demise and discovering a whole new side to the town she calls home. With her whole world uprooted around her, all she can do is hang on.

Modded Skyr*m: Real Life Edition
It seems that I died while I was playing VR Skyr*m. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the middle-aged man who called himself The Overlord of Dremora and Dragons. He told me they were releasing Skyr*m: Real-Life Edition. However, you have to be dead first to play it, and I was chosen as a 'beta tester' of sorts. I found myself in a semi-realistic (thanks to mods) world, and I want to have fun and relax for the rest of my life, and maybe get back to Earth. There's just a small *RAWR* problem. Setting: This happens within the world in The Legend of the Fake Hero, specifically two arcs from now. About: I am writing this for fun as a side project. I intend this to be semi-interactive as I will have polls where readers can influence the book's direction. I have the final say because I believe that too many cooks in the kitchen are not a good thing. The plan is to write it in parts that are around 1-2k words. Typically around every 3 to 6 parts, they will be combined into a finalized chapter and re-edited for a smoother read. Release schedule: When I feel like it. I'll be more inclined to write if there is more interaction, both in comments and polls, towards the story. However, I will be focusing on The Legend of the Fake Hero because that is something I own entirely and enjoy. I will try to do consistent uploads. Disclaimer: This work falls under fair use as it is a partial parity, does not affect the value of the original work, is an original story within the setting (within my setting), and is not being sold. All IP belongs to their respective owners (including myself). Currently uploading on Scribble Hub and Royal Road under the same username.
