The Order Anura names amphibians which are characterized as having no tails in adulthood (which is unlike the salamander, linked above, which is in the Order Caudata), as being unequal quadrupeds (four limbs, the hind legs usually being longer than the fore limbs), and as having external fertilization. They also have more pronounced pelvic joints to allow for an enhanced jumping ability. Another organism which shares this Order is the Red Eyed Tree Frog, which truly exemplifies the jumping abilities of this classification level.
