A selection of animals which live on land have a skin thin enough for gases to pass through. These animals are capable of breathing through their permeable skin, which needs to remain moist. Both earthworms and amphibians, such as frogs, breathe through their skin. Earthworms remain below ground in the moist soil, while amphibians live in or near water. Animals that can breathe through their skin possess moist skin and have tiny blood vessels or capillaries that lie close their skin surface. These tiny vessels transport oxygen to their various tissues and carry carbon dioxide to the outer skin layer.
Frogs, Leeches, Earthworm and a majority of the animals which belong to the species Amphibia, Annelida do respire or breath through their skin. Other animals include the lungless salamanders, snails and many others.
