text:
External gills are the gills of an animal, most typically an amphibian, that are exposed to the environment, rather than set inside the pharynx and covered by gill slits, as they are in most fishes. Instead, the respiratory organs are set on a frill of stalks protruding from the sides of an animal's head. This type of gill is most commonly observed on the aquatic larva of most species of salamanders, lungfish, and bichirs, and are retained by neotenic adult salamanders and some species of adult
