Many amphibians are uniquely adapted to life both above and below the surface of freshwater habitats. Frogs, salamanders, and newts can dive into ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers, using powerful limbs and streamlined bodies to move efficiently underwater. Some species can remain submerged for long periods by absorbing oxygen directly through their skin.
