But in brief, they are these: lungs and warm blood; whereas, all other fish are

lungless salamanders (Salvidio & Bruce 2006).
The Jemez Mountains salamander is a terrestrial,
lungless salamander that breathes through its skin.
Role of temperature and water in the ecology of
lungless salamanders.
Comparative morphology and evolution of the
lungless caecilian Atretochoana eiselti (Taylor) (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Typhlonectidae).
For example,
lungless salamanders require the heavily rotted logs that are retained.
Julian Tupan, biologist for the Santo Antonio Energy company which is building the dam, said that hardly anything is known about the
lungless, limbless amphibians.
In this paper, he suggests "the neoteny as the major mechanism to explain the origin of the non-scorpion arachnids from scorpion ancestors." Among other things, he details his discovery of what he calls "a perineural vascular membrane of certain
lungless, rare arachnids."
Species infected with Bd covered a wide phylogenetic range including four species of plethodontid (
lungless) salamanders, three species of toads, five hylid frogs (or "tree frogs"), and four ranid frogs (or "true frogs").
A new species of
lungless caecilian has turned up, only the second
lungless one known.
