Amphibians are said to have evolved from fish such as the lungfish or lobe finned fish. These fish's ponds may have dried up and the fish had the need to develop a lung and legs to breathe oxygen and walk on land. Amphibians technically do not live on land though because they spend most of their lives near bodies of water.

Amphibians were able to adapt to terrestrial environments due to key evolutionary changes, such as developing limbs for movement on land, specialized skin for preventing dehydration, and the ability to breathe using lungs or through moist skin. These adaptations allowed them to exploit new ecological niches outside of the water.
