  • Osteichthyes characteristics: Bony skeleton, operculum, swim bladder, lateral line system.
  • Buoyancy: Some store oils in livers or use swim bladders.

Amphibia

  • Amphibian Characteristics: Ectothermic, moist permeable skin, larval stage (tadpole) with gills, followed by metamorphosis to adult form, lack scales, feathers or hair, often need water.
