- Egg Stage (Spawn):
- Frogs start their lives as eggs laid in water, typically in clusters or masses called spawn.
- These eggs are usually laid in water to ensure the tadpoles have a suitable environment to develop.
- Tadpole Stage:
- Once the eggs hatch, they turn into tadpoles.
- Tadpoles have gills and a tail and live exclusively in water.
- They feed on algae, plants, and sometimes smaller insects.
- Metamorphosis:
- Over time, tadpoles undergo a process called metamorphosis.
- During this stage, they gradually develop limbs, lose their tails, and their gills are replaced by lungs.
- Their body shape changes from a fish-like appearance to that of a frog.
- Young Frog (Froglet):
- After completing metamorphosis, tadpoles become young frogs, also known as froglets.
- Froglets have both lungs and the ability to breathe through their skin.
- They start to venture onto land but still require a moist environment.
- Adult Frog:
- Eventually, the froglet grows into an adult frog.
- Adult frogs live both on land and in water, although they still need water for reproduction.
- They typically eat insects and smaller creatures, using their long sticky tongue to catch prey.
This life cycle from egg to adult can take several weeks to several months, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Frogs are cold-blooded animals, so their development can be influenced by temperature and the availability of water.
In zoology we know about the frogs.Frogs are amphibians,meaning that they can live in the water or on the water. Most of the forgs are spend their lives in water. Some live in the underground holes or in the trees.A frog has smooth, moist skin and big bulging eyes.
