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.

What are the breathing habits feeding habits and movements of animals on land in air and in water?
Land Animals: Breathing - They breath steadily using lungs, the rate of breathing depends upon the size of their lungs and structure. Feeding - Land animals either eat vegetation or other animals, depending on whether they are a herbavore or a carnavore. Some animals can be a omnivores, meaning they eat both. Air Animals: Breathing - Similar to a land animals. Feeding - Usually being amnivores, as they eat a variety of seeds, insects or left overs of other animals. Some are carnavores, such as bats. Water Animals: Breathing - Due to lack of air in water, animals who live in water have gills instead of lungs, which filter the water through them and gathering the oxygen from the water so that they can breath. Feeding - Some eat small bacterias and creatures or algai, such as plankton. Others eat other fish, some even of the same spieces. But feeding habits of water creatures are still being researched as the sea and waters contain most of mans mysteries. Yea, I'm bored ryt now, haha. XxCazxX

Why creatures can live in water?
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.
