Here's an interesting question, What animal is both an amphibian and marasupial ? Ran across this in Smithsonian magazine and found it fascinating.

Major, I'm lookin' for an amphibian. No birds, mammals, reptiles, just things like toads, newts, fish, etc.
This one is really obscure, so I'll reveal late tonite or early tomorrow.

An amphibian can breathe underwater right ?

Some can as adults, but not all. Tadpoles, for example, breath through gills which they lose later in life.
Many amphibians can absorb air through their skin.

I think there was a frog, but I believe it is extinct.
