4. Adult frog
5. Female frog lays eggs

ADULT AMPHIBIANS
-Gas exchange is carried out through moist and permeable skin
-Also through lungs

LARVAE OF AMPHIBIANS

-intake of oxygen over a fish’s gills

# data[].attributes.body
- Ectothermic animals
- Under the class Vertebrates (have backbone or spin)
