Primarily breathe through their lungs for respiration
Use their legs /feet for locomotion

Amphibians
Cold-blooded
Spend part of their lives in water and part on land
Breathe through their gills when young lungs when they grow old
Have smooth, moist and scale less skins
Lays eggs in water and develops through metamorphosis
