Question

While visiting a national park, a student encounters an unfamiliar organism in a damp area near a body of water. The student notes that the organism is about 10 cm long, has four legs, and has a tail. The organism is black with small white spots on its smooth, moist skin. It also appears to have an internal skeletal system. To which class does the organism most likely belong?

Answer 1

I don't think there is enough information however, it sounds like an amphibian. At first I thought it was a reptile because most amphibians such as frogs and toads have no tails. But salamanders and newts have tails, have moist skin and are amphibians.
