So I refined it and took a guess with salamander. Found multiple sites with lungless salamanders, double checked with photosynthetic salamander: http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/stories/salamander-is-worlds-first-photosynthetic-vertebrate<br /><br />Followed this by checking order - search: kingdom, phylum, class, order, species: salamander: several websites came up and determined the order is caudata.<br /><br />http://www.nhc.ed.ac.uk/index.php?page=493.464.466<br /><br />Search took a couple of minutes.Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090686197252045890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-56812359575168158872012-11-15T11:34:01.416-08:002012-11-15T11:34:01.416-08:00Order: Caudata

The article said some eggs receive energy from photosynthesis, but only specifically mentioned it being true for frogs and salamanders. <br /><br />At that point I should have checked if any species of frog or salamander are also lungless, but I was so sure that I already had the correct answer that I spent the next few minutes trying to find an article that confirm that this was also true for Gymnophonia - whoops<br /><br />Eventually I got frustrated of trying to confirm my results and peaked at this page, only to discover everyone else had a different answer from me. <br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066114543916888304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-56841068484655960182012-11-15T06:26:29.264-08:002012-11-15T06:26:29.264-08:00Google's auto complete gave me salamander when...Google's auto complete gave me salamander when Lungless was entered.
