Animals living in land are called terrestrial animals .All terrestrial animals breathe through their nostrils.but they respire through their lungs.aquatic animals such as fishes breathe through their gills.Gills a re the projections from their skin,they are themselves well supplied with oxygen.Amphibians such as frogs crocodiles crabs etc can live in both land and water.they do have lungs to breathe in land but in water, they breathe through their skin.insects like grass hoppers cockroaches etc. breathe through spiracles.Spiracles are just like our nostrils.they are holes by which they exchange gases.{oxygen and carbon dioxide}.But originally insects respire through trachea.The earth worms are insects that only breathe through their skin.Their skin are slimy and watery so gases can easily pass through them.
improvements
crocodiles and crabs are not amphibia
gills are not projection from skin in all aquatic animals
nostrils and spiracles are part of respiratory system not a separate thing.
The differences are that aquatic animals live under water and breath under water, but the land animals can not breath under water so they have to live on land and if aquatic animals lived on land for less than a hour they would die. And same with land animals if they were under the water for to long they would drown!
The component of air needed by animals is oxygen. Land animals get oxygen by absorbing it from the air (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds do this by inhaling and absorbing oxygen inside the lungs, whereas invertebrates simply absorb it through tiny tubules that let air into their bodies). Fish and other marine animals (with the exception of marine mammals and reptiles) get oxygen by absorbing the dissolved oxygen in the water. For marine mammals and reptiles, oxygen is obtained by surfacing every so many minutes to take a breath of air.
Water contains much less O2 than air per unit volume.
Gills are used to filter out the Oxygen (O) from water (H2O). Land animals do not need to do this as we breathe air.
A Frog
The Bioluminescent Mushroom lives underwater.
Kills underwater animals as well as land animals and leaves the animals that eat those animals helpless without and food. (=they can ruin housing, foundations. Dirt and other polluted things can get into the water because of the strong winds that has picked the dirt and pollution up. ect..
Ice sheets aren't underwater, they are entirely sitting on land. Ice bergs, on the other hand, are about 88% underwater.
A carnivore is an animal that feeds on other animals. And terrestrial means it lives on land. Hence terrestrial carnivores are land animals that feed on other animals. Eg: Lion, tiger, human, dog etc.
Plants may be condsidered as animals, but animals are more plentiful in ocean than anywhere else.
well over time the land animals change a little and they need to be underwater to live unlike their land animal ancestors
no,there is no animal that can breath air and water. Shadystraz says: Actually "Crabs" are capable of breathing underwater as well as on land. Also "Australian Lung Fish" are capable of Breathing on Land as well as Underwater by opening and closing certain Gills.
They are land animals, they can't breath underwater and they are also wildcats
Well in 2009 alone about 59 billion animals were killed including underwater and land animals.
If by creatures, we mean animals, they require oxygen to survive. Humans get oxygen from the air by using their lungs. Underwater animals can get oxygen directly from the water (water contains dissolved oxygen) by using their gills. Other animals don't have gills (like dolphins) so they live underwater but come up to the air every now and then to get their oxygen. Life in general is very good at living in water. For billions of years, creatures were ONLY able to live in water. Land animals, like us humans, evolved later to live on land so now we are so poorly adapted for life underwater that it would kill us.
There are plenty of animals that habitat either land, water, or air. The owl for example habitats both land and air.

There is a good chance they were because they can't breathe underwater
because they are
No animals lived in underwater Ohio since it was underwater. They had to be fish, but no mammals.
Real penguins breathe air, and hold their breath when they are underwater.
