Animal Randomizer
One amphibian at a time with its photo, from the axolotl to the goliath frog. Nothing repeats until you have seen all 46, and the Batch tab draws one for every child.
One random animal, with its photo
In the photo: Ambystoma mexicanum
It keeps its larval body for life: adults still have feathery gills on the outside of the head and a finned tail, and in the wild they rarely, if ever, change into a land form. Source: Animal Diversity Web, University of Michigan Museum of Zoology

The six animal groups, in plain words
What separates mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, the trap in each one, and a six-question sorting guide that says where it fails.
0 of 46 filled in. A slot never fills twice.
This generator narrows the draw to the catalog’s amphibian group before you press anything: 46 amphibians. Most are frogs and toads. The rest are salamanders and newts, plus the ringed caecilian, from the third group of living amphibians.
A few of them do not look like amphibians at all. The greater siren is a salamander, but with tiny front legs and no back legs it looks like an eel, and it keeps its gills on the outside of its body all its life. The slow worm goes the other way: the name sounds like it belongs here, but it is a lizard, so it is in the reptile generator.
It is the same no-repeat draw as the homepage generator, preset to one group. Switch it back to all groups at any time from the filter chips above the result.
Common toad
Natterjack toad
Fire-bellied toad
Midwife toad
Every name below is eligible when Amphibians is the active filter. Nothing is added or removed once you start drawing; the count above is what you are actually choosing from.
Group labels verified catalog-wide against Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), 2026-09-19. Names are everyday common English, not species identifications.
46. Every name is listed on this page, and nothing is added or removed once you start drawing.
Yes. 45 of the 46 have a photograph, each credited to its photographer under its own licence. The other one shows the group's illustration, because no free photo of it passed review.
No. A batch never contains the same animal twice, and nothing repeats across batches until you have seen all 46. Select Reset to start again.
Up to 50 in one batch. You can copy the batch, download it as plain text or print it as a worksheet.
