Amphibians are animals that have backbones and that can live in water or on land.
Most amphibians have legs and can swim, cralw or hop.
They are able to breathe on land because they have lungs. The skin of an amphibian has many pores and glands to secrete moisture to keep it's skin from drying out. Some amphibians such as the frog lay soft jellylike eggs which develop into a tadpole. The amphibians diet is composed mostly of insects. Amphibians live in wetlands, and in moist humid areas.
