Animals which Breathe through their Skin. Some animals which live on land have a skin which is so thin that gases can easily pass through it. We say that they have a permeable skin. Earthworms and amphibians have a skin which is permeable to gases. Amphibians also have a pair of simple lungs but they are not sufficient on their own for breathing. Large animals which breathe through their skin also use blood to transport oxygen to their tissues and to bring carbon dioxide to the surface of the body.
Amphibians are vertebrate animals residing in a wide range of habitats, such as aquatic, terrestrial, and arboreal. Evolution of the earliest amphibians took place in the Devonian period; their features modified over a period of time. While some are extinct, following are the characteristics of the extant species of class Amphibia. Â» The color of the skin of amphibians is a result of three layers of cells called chromatophores. 1  Deepest layer is made up of melanophores. 2  Intermediate layer consists of guanophores giving the organism the blue-green color.  Topmost layer consists of lipophores, which give the yellow color to the organisms.
