1. Egg Stage
Frog life begins as a small, gel-like cluster of eggs laid in freshwater. These eggs are often enveloped in a transparent jelly that protects them from predators and environmental threats. As you might see here, the egg's development stage is crucial for the life that lies ahead.
2. Tadpole Stage
The next stage is the tadpole phase, where the eggs hatch into tiny, aquatic larvae. Tadpoles are equipped with gills for breathing underwater. Their journey towards full growth is as thrilling as any adventure tale, and you can learn more about it here.
3. Froglet Stage
Transitioning from water to land, froglets begin developing limbs which enable them to leap out of water. Gills turn into lungs, allowing them to breathe air. To see a froglet in action, hop here.
4. Adult Frog
Finally, fully grown adult frogs are ready to explore both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Their long, sticky tongues and powerful legs make them expert hunters. Uncover more about adult frogs here.
