The typical amphibian breathes by gills in the water as a baby and breathes by lungs on land, a process we usually call complete metamorphosis. When most amphibians breed, they lay their eggs in water and hatch into tadpoles. The newly hatched tadpoles have external gills and breathe oxygen in water. In most tadpoles, within a few days the internal and external gills disappear to form internal gills for breathing, and hind limb buds (forelegs) grow into metamorphosis. In metamorphosis stage, tadpoles' limbs gradually replace the function of walking and locomotion, and their lungs gradually take the place of gills to breathe. Once the gills were gone and the rest of the anatomy adjusted, amphibians moved on to land.
