An amphibian is a type of animal. Amphibians live in the water for one part of their lives and on land for the other. Frogs and toads are some animals that are amphibians.
When frogs are very young, they can breathe water like fish. As they become adults, they grow lungs and begin to breathe air. Because they can change like this, they are called amphibians.
