Amphibia: Life History and Ecology The name amphibian means "double life", and is given to members of this group for the double life that they lead. Young amphibians spend their early years in the water breathing through gills in the side of their head in much the same way as fish do.
Amphibia: Life History and Ecology As they mature, amphibians will usually lose their gills and develop legs (Metamorphosis). However….. A number of salamanders, such as the North American "mudpuppy", develop legs but retain their larval gills and stay in the water throughout their lifetimes Mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) This is a classic example of an evolutionary phenomenon known as neoteny – the retention of larval or juvenile features in mature adults.
