Question

A student sees a salamander and calls it a lizard. How will yuo explain to him that the two are different

Answer 1

One visual cue is that lizards usually have external ear-openings and clawed toes. Salamanders lack such features. Salamanders are also amphibians, while lizards are reptiles. The main differences between reptiles and amphibians are that reptiles are covered in dry scales or scutes, while amphibians have moist skins.
