Today's science/news included a story featuring the recent find of
rare frogs whose sole oxygen supply comes through the skin. To me,
this discovery suggests a possible new genomics experiment -- if
mammals could be born with the unusual trait of lungless breathing,
imagine the possibilities for long term survival in the airless
environments.

uptake solely through the epidermis?
