Amphibian

Number four, which sports would you associate the Huddersfield Giants, Wakefield Trinity and Salford Red Devils? It is rugby league.

And finally, number five is an axolotl, a fish, a reptile or an amphibian? It's an amphibian.

Amphibian.

I always get confused by sort of the wordings on these.

I thought axolotl swim, but anyway, there we go.

Every time we've ever had a San Diego band on, they're usually, like, transplants.

I think the one exception has been Artway Amphibians.

But, like, we had Icona on, and I was so stoked.

And I was like, and he's like, I'm from the Bay.

Love Leisure Hour.

They're the coolest and nicest people.

Obviously our hometown friends, Aren't We Amphibians, are doing great things right now.

Clementine is really cool and they have non-stop touring so it's really cool to see that.

The phylum, Chordata.

The class is Amphibia.

We're at frogs.

We're at frogs.

Elsewhere, the morning light of D-plus-1 revealed the discouraging sights of the chaos created along the beaches by the combination of Iwo Jima's wicked surf and Kuribayashi's unrelenting barrages.

In the words of one dismayed observer, wreckage was indescribable for two miles the debris was so thick that there were only a few places where landing craft could still get in the wrecked hulls of scores of landing boats testified to one price we had to pay to put our troops ashore tanks and half-tracks lay crippled where they had bogged down in the coarse sand Amphibian tractors, victims of mines and well-aimed shells, lay flopped on their backs.

Cranes brought ashore to unload cargo tilted at insane angles and bulldozers were smashed in their own roadways.

Bad weather set in, further compounding the problems of general unloading.

Um, yeah.

Uh, Amphibian as Aquaman.

Super-Skrull, one of them had Super-Skrull as Martian Manhunter, which I was like, "That's actually very good." [laughs]

That makes sense, yeah, yeah.

Tetrapods gradually replaced their fins with limbs and developed entirely new body parts that were never seen before, like necks, with the help of additional vertebrae that separated the body from the head.

The first tetrapods are today found in the class Amphibia, which were the first creatures to develop a three-chambered heart.

There are more than 6,000 known species of amphibians, like frogs and salamanders, most of which begin life as tadpoles in water and then later develop legs and lungs in a digestive system and often migrate to land for adulthood.

But amphibians lay eggs that don't have shells, so they dehydrate quickly, so they have to be laid in water.

On the contrary, in the same situation, there are also certain animals that would cause no fear of it, such as being told a rabbit, beaver, hamster, or some amphibian was chasing you.

Yet, the irony is that one of these animals they just named, while not being known as deadly today, was once upon a time by far the worst thing you could run into.

And likely based on the title, you'll know that I'm talking about amphibians.

Yep, once upon a time, Kermit's ancestors were the deadliest things around.

But what exactly is an amphibian? Now obviously, I'm sure that you know frogs, toads, and salamanders are all amphibians, yet few can actually fully define them.

The old idea was that a creature who spends half its life in water and half on land fits the bill, but this is outdated.

Instead, they're generally regarded as cold-blooded, four-limbed, and anamniotic vertebrates that make up their own basic animal group, the amphibia, with the other groups being mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and invertebrates.

Many amphibians share common traits, like a distinct life cycle and thin, porous, permeable skin.
