      Amphibian and semi-aquatic aren’t the same thing. Frogs are amphibians because they start as gilled tadpoles and turn into hoppy lungy frogs. Turtles are not amphibians because they hatch as a turtle, live as a turtle, and die as a turtle. It’s turtles all the way down.

      What about the platypus?

      Platypus babies only drink Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Also, they’re not amphibians.
