Being lungless means being a plant.

Being lungless means being a plant.

[color=#1af]This thing isn't even very practical though. In the article it said that the frog can't survive on land, or even in still water. So it's confined to a river. That's not good, that's bad :( It would be better off with gills. Or having kept its lungs :P[/color]

What? ???

Exactly... And basically taking the concept of how plants breathe CO2 more than O2. So not having lungs, they would be more plant-like.

And that's what this frog does, except those frogs intake air through skin into the lungs.

You could probably just wiki it. It's been so long since I studied biology... :P

[quote]Tell that to the ants.[/quote] Ants have lung-like respiratory systems... They have to keep moving to force air in and out of them though. And as a side note, I don't think the Ants would care if you told them.

Anyts have pores/holes in their exoskeleton that allows them to breath...sort of like the lungless frogs.

The majority of animal species do not have lungs, period. Get off the plant thing.
