Amphibians

All amphibians are cold-blooded with a moist, glandular skin rather than scales, feathers or hair. Their bodies also lack claws. Most amphibians have lungs and breath like most other animals, however some salamanders have no lungs at all. Their thin moist skin is used take in oxygen and many breath through gills, especially while in the larvae stage.

There are three types of amphibians, frogs and toads, salamanders and newts, and caecilians.
