Anything that is a species of fish (sharks, tuna, stingrays, etc.) can breathe underwater because they have gills. Also, amphibians such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians are cold blooded. Amphibians are animals that can live on land as well as live underwater. They have different cells which allow them to do so.

Why cant animals on land breathe under water and animals in the water cant breathe on land?
From what I know about chemical compunds, there is too much H (Hydrogen) in water for land animals to breathe as there is none in air, or close to it. Also, it doesn't include Argon or Nitrogen.For their counterpart, Water animals can not breathe air(Except for dolphins and lung fish) because they do not reach a sufficient amount of Hydrogen. That's my guess anyway.
