Tetrapods (early amphibians) emerged in the fossil record some time int he lower Carboniferous, around 360 million years ago. Reptiles emerged later in the carboniferous, 320-310 million years ago, and were probably the dominant terrestrial fauna by the start of the Permian, 299 million years ago. If any period in geological history could be described as the age of the amphibians, it would be the lowere-to-middle Carboniferous.
For hundreds and millions of years
Amphibians have existed on Earth for over 300 million years. They are one of the oldest vertebrate groups, with their ancestors dating back to the Devonian period.
how long has archaebacteria been on earth? how long has archaebacteria been on earth?
On what planet? Amphibians are alive and well on Earth.
they have been on the earth for along time
Fish appeared earlier. Amphibians later branched off from them.
No, dinosaurs were not amphibians. Dinosaurs are classified as reptiles.
crocodiles have been around becasue they know how to survive they can survive both on land and water becasue they are amphibians.
After fish, amphibians were the next group of creatures to evolve on Earth. Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They were the first vertebrates to colonize terrestrial habitats.
Penguins are not amphibians; nor have they ever been amphibians. Penguins are birds which happen to feed underwater.
Herpetology is the study of Amphibians and Reptiles, ergo a Herpetologist is one who studys Amphibians and Reptiles. Amphibians and Reptiles would come under life earth.
They have been on earth since 190 million years ago.
