无尾目（学名：Anura）是属于两栖纲的动物，成体基本无尾，卵一般产于水中，孵化成蝌蚪，用鳃呼吸，经过变态，成体主要用肺呼吸，但多数皮肤也有部分呼吸功能。主要包括两类动物：蛙和蟾蜍。这两类动物没有太严格的区别，有的一科中同时包括两种。一般来说，蟾蜍多在陆地生活，因此皮肤多粗糙；蛙体形较苗条，多善于游泳。两种体形相似，颈部不明显，无肋骨。前肢的尺骨与桡骨愈合，后肢的胫骨与腓骨愈合，因此爪不能灵活转动，但四肢肌肉发达。

无尾目是生物从水中走上陆地的第一步，比其他两栖纲生物要先进，虽然多数已经可以离开水生活，但繁殖仍然离不开水，卵需要在水中经过变态才能成长。因此不如爬行纲动物先进，爬行纲动物已经可以完全离开水生活。

Frogs are a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura (Ancient Greek an-, without + oura, tail). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their origins may extend further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforests. There are approximately 4,800 recorded species, accounting for over 85% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders.
