animals belonging to the phylum Chordata.
They have characteristics that indicate their
ability to live in both water and land.
Amphibians spend parts of their lives in
water, where they lay eggs and raise
tadpoles. Then, they metamorphose into
adult amphibians that have body parts that
indicate their ability to live on land.
