How can some animals live both on land and in water?

Some animals can live both on land and in water because they have adaptations that allow them to survive in both environments. These animals are known as amphibious animals or amphibians.

For example, frogs can live in water as well as on land because they have body features suited to both habitats. Adult frogs use lungs to breathe air on land and their moist skin also helps in gas exchange. Their strong hind legs support movement on land and swimming in water.

These special adaptations allow certain animals to move between aquatic and terrestrial habitats and meet their survival needs in different surroundings.
