1. Gills: Fish have gills that allow them to extract oxygen from water, while tadpoles have gills that eventually develop into lungs as they metamorphose into frogs and toads.
2. Lungs: Frogs, toads, and adult tadpoles have lungs that allow them to breathe air when they are out of water.
3. Skin: Frogs and toads have moist, permeable skin that allows them to absorb oxygen and water through their skin. Tadpoles also have permeable skin, but it becomes thicker and less permeable as they develop into adults.
4. Legs: Frogs and toads have powerful hind legs that allow them to jump and swim efficiently. Tadpoles have tails and small, underdeveloped legs that they use for swimming.
5. Metamorphosis: Tadpoles undergo metamorphosis, transforming from aquatic larvae with gills into terrestrial adults with lungs and legs. This adaptation allows them to live in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
6. Camouflage: Frogs and toads have evolved various colors and patterns on their skin that help them blend in with their surroundings, providing them with protection from predators.
7. Vocalizations: Frogs and toads use vocalizations to communicate with each other, attract mates, and establish territories. This adaptation is important for their survival and reproduction.
