Count: 0 — No amphibians meet the strict search “Amphibians that start with V.” This result follows a letter-by-letter check against authoritative sources (AmphibiaWeb, IUCN Red List, and Amphibian Species of the World) and the requirement that the accepted name—common or scientific—literally begins with the letter V. Interesting detail: scientific names place the genus first, and while some genera begin with V, common English names that begin with V are unusually scarce, so a strict alphabetical filter can return an empty set.

Understand why the criterion fails. Taxonomic names change over time, regional common names vary widely, and many English names use descriptive words (for example “spotted” or “mountain”) that do not begin with V even when the species’ scientific name does. Exclude probable synonyms and dubious records eliminates borderline hits. For useful alternatives, consult the same authoritative databases and broaden the rule: search for scientific names that start with V, look for species whose common name contains the letter V, or list amphibian genera that begin with V and then provide their accepted species, habitats, and lifespans.
