Amphibians are vertebrates with strong leg bones that have developed to allow them to live on land. Also, during. Metamorphosis the amphibians gills are replaced with lungs.

∙ 15y agoModern Amphibians are actually active in water AND land. Back in prehistoric times, amphibians were the first animals to be able to move on water and land, but they had gills, which meant that they could not stay on land too long. So the answer to your question is that they had to grow lungs and scales (Amphibians evolved to reptiles).

Any organism that has cephalization is considered more advanced than its competition. However speaking about being successful land animals they probably aren't the most successful. The largest amount of land organisms is the insects and more specific the beetle.

Why was man created different from other creatures?
First we need to see in what way we are different from other creatures. We walk upright, have opposable thumbs and relatively large brains. This has enabled us to fill a niche in the environment that no other creature could fill, and even create our own niche by altering the environment. Some say that another difference from other creatures is that humans have souls.The physical differences are easily explained. They are the result of evolution, enabling humans to survive and flourish in every continent. We can never prove we have souls, but if this is a difference from other animals it would be because God wished us to continue after we die, with him in heaven. But this can also be wishful thinking.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What are the adaptations of a banksia?
Banksia has a number of adaptations that have so far enabled the genus to survive despite dry, nutrient-poor soil, low rates of seed set, high rates of seed predation and low rates of seedling survival. These adaptations include proteoid roots and lignotubers; specialised floral structures that attract nectariferous animals and ensure effective pollen transfer; and the release of seed in response to bushfire.
