Explanation
Amphibians are on the border line between aquatic and true terrestrial animals. Fossil evidence from the Devonian period of earths history suggests that a large population of ish belonging to the group lobe-ins (dipnoi) came to live in shallow fresh water.

This suggests that frogs i.e amphibians a from gilled ancestors.
