One-toed Amphiuma vs. Gulf Coast Waterdog

Gulf Coast Waterdogs live in the creeks of the Mississippi coast that drain the One-toed's swamps. A: None outside, only a tiny gill slit in the One-toed Amphiuma; bushy red outside gills kept for life in the Gulf Coast Waterdog. B: Tiny, useless legs with one toe in the One-toed Amphiuma; proper legs with four toes on each foot in the Gulf Coast Waterdog. C: Plain dark grey-brown all over in the One-toed Amphiuma; brown, thickly covered with dark spots in the Gulf Coast Waterdog. The waterdog has a stout, flat body; the One-toed Amphiuma is eel-like.
