Amphibians are ectothermic, anamniotic, four-limbed vertebrate animals that constitute the class Amphibia. In its broadest sense, it is a paraphyletic group encompassing all tetrapods excluding the amniotes (tetrapods with an amniotic membrane, such as modern reptiles, birds and mammals).

Fishes are a paraphyletic group and for this reason, the class Pisces seen in older reference works is no longer used in formal taxonomy.Traditional classification divides fish into three extant classes (Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, and Osteichthyes), and with extinct forms sometimes classified within those groups, sometimes as their own classes: [1]

Amphibious fish are fish that are able to leave water for extended periods of time. About 11 distantly related genera of fish are considered amphibious. This suggests that many fish genera independently evolved amphibious traits, a process known as convergent evolution .
Subclass Lissamphibia – modern amphibians; Class Reptilia – reptiles Subclass Diapsida – diapsids, including crocodiles, dinosaurs, birds, lizards, snakes and turtles; Subclass Euryapsida – euryapsids; Subclass Synapsida – synapsids, including mammal-like reptiles-now a separate group (often thought to be the ancestors of mammals)
A record 4 million common murres died as a result of a two-year marine heat wave in Alaska, a study found. A reduced murre colony nests on South Island of the Semidi Islands in 2021 after the heat ...
