    This document discusses the characteristics of amphibians. It notes that amphibians have three-chambered hearts, lay jelly-like eggs in moist environments, undergo external fertilization, and can breathe through gills or lungs. Additionally, it compares amphibian and fish hearts, noting that amphibians have two circulatory loops while fish have only one. Amphibians evolved from lobe-finned fish over 350 million years ago.
