An amphibious organism or creature, particularly an animal that lives part of its life in water and part on land.
From Greek 'amphibion' (neuter form of 'amphibios'), directly borrowed into scientific and technical English to refer to dual-habitat animals.
The original Greek word 'amphibion' was used by Aristotle over 2,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest terms in zoological science—and he was remarkably accurate in his descriptions of frog and salamander development.
