How a animal with gill chambers stay on land for short periods of time?

Animals with gill chambers, such as certain species of fish or amphibians, can stay on land for short periods by utilizing specialized adaptations. They often possess a moist skin or gill structures that can absorb oxygen from the air. Additionally, some species may have the ability to store moisture in their gill chambers, allowing them to breathe air temporarily. These adaptations enable them to survive in terrestrial environments, albeit for limited durations.
