Amphibian way of Life
The Concept
The idea behind creating a vehicle that could survive in both land and water came from Amphibians. They are an interesting set of animals that have survived millions of years and continue to do so. The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that produce useful proteins. Some transport water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide either into or out of the animal. In a study published in the November 2011 issue of Ecology Letters, scientists discovered that migrating species may be hindered by climate variability, and that their chances for survival will hinge largely on their ability to either disperse quickly into new habitats or to persist for many years during unfavorable weather conditions. Keeping this in mind I wanted to design something that was mobile and provided safe and sound shelter.
