Members of the order ' s total group , the clade Pseudosuchia , appeared about 250 million years ago in the Early Triassic period , and diversified during the Mesozoic era . The order ___MASK85___ includes the true crocodiles ( family Crocodylidae ), the alligators and caimans ( family Alligatoridae ), and the gharial and false gharial ( family Gavialidae ).

While the genus \" ___MASK82___ \" retains forelimbs , all other genera are limbless . Although superficially similar to the snakes and Dibamidae , recent phylogenetic studies suggest that they are most closely related to the Lacertidae . Amphisbaenians are widely distributed , occurring in North America , Europe , Africa , South America , and the Caribbean . Most species are less than long .

The single species of tuatara is the only surviving member of its order , which flourished around 200 million years ago . Their most recent common ancestor with any other extant group is with the squamates ( lizards and snakes ).

An organism consists of one or more cells ; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism ; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism .

Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water , but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this . The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air - breathing form with lungs . Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin . They are superficially similar to lizards but , along with mammals and birds , reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed . With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins , amphibians are often ecological indicators ; in recent decades there has been a dramatic decline in amphibian populations for many species around the globe .", "Binomial nomenclature ( also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature ) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts , both of which use Latin grammatical forms , although they can be based on words from other languages .
