adaption

[drakestreet]

What adaption do animals make in order to evolve from water to land?

[wiggal]

Umm they grow legs?
Gotta be one about not breathing through gills anymore!

Im not ver good with this kinda thing but will have a think!

Breathe air, ability to extract oxygen from air

[Noweia]

Being able to breathe air - this is what distinguishes sea creatures e.g. fish from land animals e.g. the horse.

Whales and dolphins are the exception, as they evolved from land animals and so breathe air.

Eerrr..... fish breathe oxygen too, they just extract it from the water instead of the air.

Why did you not give wiggal even one star? The growing legs and breathing through lungs is the obvious correct answer.

As you are clearly interested in evolution, the word for changes in animal anatomy to response to their environment is adaptation.

something to do with some beer....Guinness I think

to get a really good understanding of this it's a good idea, I think to study anphibians to see how they do it, frogs for example can breath out of water by using lungs but also absorb oxygen from water through their skin.

1) Ability to breathe air (e.g. African lungfish).

2) Limbs to climb on to the shore and plants (e.g. mudskipper).

3) Ability to sustain temperatures long enough not to dry out (amphibians excrete slime through their skin in order to do this).
