Answer 3

An amphibian or amphibious vehicle, is a vehicle that, like an amphibian, can move on land as well as on water.

The first known self-propelled amphibious vehicle, a steam dredger named the Orukter Amphibolos, was demonstrated by United States inventor Oliver Evans in 1805, although it is not known to ever have travelled overland. A year later in 1806 the French Fournier blended a boat-like hull with a car frame to produce the first true amphibious vehicle.

Several amphibious automobiles have been developed, including the Amphicar in the 1960s and the contemporary Gibbs Aquada.
