Anuran amphibians are vertebrates that have as singular characteristic the development of the larval phase in the aquatic environment and the adult phase in the terrestrial environment. Like other animals, they are components of the food chain, feeding on insects and other terrestrial invertebrates, they are responsible for controlling various pests. In addition, they are also important indicators of environmental quality, being called bioindicators. The present study aimed to address the general characteristics of anuran amphibians and their biodiversity. The method was exploratory, through bibliographic search in the database of Scielo, CAPES and Google Scholar. The following were selected to compose the present study: 10 international articles; 04 national articles; 06 international and 05 national informative websites, and 07 national books and 09 international books, published, from 1926 to 2017. From the bibliographic review it is possible to realize the importance of knowing the characteristics, behavior and the role that this group of animals have on ecological balance. It is noteworthy that the lack of knowledge of the population poses a risk of extinction for the different species of these animals in the world. Thus, this study was relevant, in the sense of bringing clarifications, allowing to reverse a scenario of erroneous information about anuran amphibians.
