Fauna of Ireland - Amphibians

Amphibians

Three amphibians are found in Ireland, the common European brown frog, the smooth newt, and the natterjack toad. There are questions over whether the frog is actually native to Ireland with some historic accounts stating that the frog was introduced in the 18th century. The natterjack toad is only found in a few localised sites in County Kerry and western part of County Cork. For atlases see Atlases of the flora and fauna of Britain and Ireland.
