Amphibians are cold blooded smooth-skinned vertebrate of the class Amphibia. Amphibians were the first vertebrates to live on land. Amphibians evolved from lobe-finned fish during the late Devonian Period and include frogs, toads, newts, salamanders, and caecilians.
Amphibians are capable of living both on land and in water.
They spend their larval stage in water, breathing through their gills. While when grown as adult they usually live on land and use lungs to breathe air.
