The major amphibian adaptations to life on land are legs and lungs. Without the buoyancy of the water, their legs had to adapt to not just move the body but also to support it. The gills used for breathing underwater were replaced by lungs. Other adaptations include changes in the skin, which minimizes water loss through evaporation, and changes in sense organs. These include loss of the lateral line, which sensed vibration in water, and development of an operculum overlaying the lower jaw, which is used to sense vibration in air. These modifications are seen in most amphibians, but some old characteristics can still be found in certain primitive amphibians.

Amphibians have forelimbs and hindlimbs for locomotion on land. They respire through lungs when present on land ,where as in water they respire through their wet skin. So, they can be able to live on land also.
