Amphibians, such as frogs, toads and salamanders, are animals which live part of their lives in the water and part on land. They lay eggs in the water and tadpoles (immature/larval stage) live in the water as well. They gradually mature, developing four limbs, lungs, and skin which can withstand the air, upon completion of which they may leave the water. Upon reaching adulthood, toads generally live on land, but frogs may live in water or other moist areas such as tall grass or even in trees. Other animals, such as ducks, seals, and polar bears, are excellent swimmers and spend large amounts of time in the water when foraging or hunting. These animals are not amphibious, in that they do not live and breathe underwater at any stage of their life, but rather merely venture into it searching for food.
