What makes an amphibian distinctive?

Answer 1

an amphibian is an amphibian because it don't have a home on land or sea, instead it lives were ever it wants. for example a frog is an amphibian because it lives on land and sea, as a tadpole it lives in the water but as a frog it can live ether one.

Answer 2

A toad fits into the categories that make it an amphibian, like newts and frogs.

The most important point is that toads start off living in water and breathing with gills, like fish, but when they are adults they can live out of water and they breathe with lungs. With a few exceptions in fish, amphibians are the only animals to live in these two stages.

They also have these features that all amphibians share:

> They lay eggs in water.

> They have moist, slippery skin.

> They are cold-blooded.
