Amphibians are known for their moist skin, need for water, and ability to live both in water (as larvae) and on land (as adults). Reptiles are known for their dry, scaly skin, reliance on external heat sources, and life cycle that is fully adapted to land, with most species laying shelled eggs. Mammals are known for having hair or fur, warm-blooded bodies, and feeding their young with milk produced by mammary glands.
