An Amphibian is a group of animals that are born and live in water when they are young (larvae) and live mostly on land which is near a water source when they are adults. Modern Amphibians are actually active in water AND land. Back in prehistoric times, amphibians were the first animals to be able to move on water and land, but they had gills, which meant that they could not stay on land too long.
Actually this is the biggest misconception of amphibians. They do live on land all of them but they need bodies of water only for reproduction.
The loss of webbed feet and the growth of body hair are two of the adaptations you seek to learn about.
