Skin in amphibians is naked, i.e., scales are absent. Glands are present, which keeps it moist. It functions in respiration besides protection.
Birds (Aves) are warm blooded or homiothermic or endothermal tetrapods as the temperature of the body remain constant as compared to that of surrounding. While, amphibians and reptiles are cold blooded or poikilothermal or ectothermal tetrapods as the temperature of the body varies according to the surrounding.
