The Journey Begins: Eggs 🥚
Frogs begin their life as eggs, usually laid in or near calm water. A single batch of frog eggs is often called frogspawn.
Stage 1: Tadpoles 🐡
After hatching, a frog embryo becomes a tadpole, which is aquatic and breathes through gills. This stage lasts several weeks.
Stage 2: Developing Frogs 🐸
As tadpoles develop, they begin to grow legs and lungs. The tail diminishes, and they prepare for life on land.
Stage 3: Adult Frogs 🐸
Once fully developed, frogs make the transition to land, where they continue the cycle by reproducing.
