Common Examples:
* Frogs and Toads: These are the most well-known amphibians. They have smooth, moist skin and can breathe both through their skin and with lungs.
* Salamanders and Newts: These amphibians also have smooth, moist skin and can breathe through their skin and lungs.
* Caecilians: These are legless amphibians that resemble worms or snakes. They are adapted to burrowing and live in moist environments.
Other Amphibious Animals:
* Sea Turtles: While not strictly amphibians, sea turtles spend most of their lives in the ocean but return to land to nest.
* Crocodiles and Alligators: These reptiles can live both in water and on land, but they are primarily aquatic.
* Sea Otters: These mammals are highly adapted for aquatic life but are also capable of coming ashore.
* Hippos: These large mammals spend most of their time in water but are able to walk on land.
Important Note: While these animals can live both on land and in water, their adaptations vary greatly. Some, like frogs and toads, are more adapted for aquatic life during their larval stage (tadpoles) and become more land-based as adults. Others, like crocodiles, are more adapted for life in water but can survive on land for extended periods.
