Froges begin their life as eggs laid in water. Froge eggs are often laid in clusters or strings attached to vegetation in ponds, wetlands, or streams. During this stage, the egg is protected by a jelly-like substance which gives it some protection against predators.
Once hatched, the young froge is known as a tadpole. This is an aquatic stage where the tadpole breathes through gills and swims using a tail. As it develops, it will begin to grow legs and lose its tail.
The final transformation leads to the adult froge, which is fully adapted to life both in and out of water. Adult froges have lungs for breathing air, though many species can also absorb oxygen through their moist skin.
