Amphibian

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was curious to learn more about the definition of an amphibian and how it differentiates from reptiles. The first paragraph begins with an in depth description of the class/species. The author highlighted a series of scientific terms that would be unfamiliar to the typical reader. But there are links attached to the unknown descriptors that make the article more comprehendible. Also the pictures were a main attractor because they have such variety that it draws the reader to keep scrolling, but the reading itself is meant to be skimmed.

Evaluate the article
The introductory paragraph is firm and highlights the main question held by the read. Especially the first sentence in a scientific detailing of the animal. It is very detailed and in a way detracts from the content itself. For a general reader without extensive knowledge about scientific/biological terms this could be a very tedious read with little gain. The article is likely up to date with information as it discusses a topic that is not going to be changing as time goes on. This makes the information reliable and the attached definition to the technical terms work as well. The images are a crucial addition to this article and add a captivating flair to the dense scientific description.
