Triphibian
Triphibian, also known as a triphibious animal, is an organism that can survive and reproduce in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. This unique adaptation allows triphibians to occupy a wide range of habitats, from freshwater and marine ecosystems to terrestrial landscapes. Examples of triphibians include certain species of amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, as well as some reptiles like the mudskipper and the basilisk lizard. These animals often possess specialized features like webbed feet, streamlined bodies, and the ability to hold their breath for extended periods, which aid in their survival in both environments. Triphibians play a crucial role in their respective ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and nutrient cycling. However, many species face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, making conservation efforts essential for their preservation.
