Today we are going to look
at the life cycle of a frog.
This picture shows the different stages of
development.
Let’s have a closer look.

Frog Spawn
Frogs lay their eggs in water or wet places.
A floating clump of eggs is called frog
spawn.
This large and slippery mass of eggs
is too big to be eaten.
This is nature's way of
protecting them.

TadpoleThe tadpole has a long
tail, and lives in the water.
It must rely on its camouflage to protect
it.
The tadpoles also face danger by being eaten
by other water animals.
Sometimes a pond dries up and the tadpoles die.

Getting biggerAfter about five weeks the tadpole begins to change.
It starts to grow hind legs. Behind its head, bulges appear
where the front legs are growing and its tail becomes smaller.
Lungs begin to develop, preparing the frog for its life on
land.

A young frogOver time, the tadpole becomes even more froglike. It has shed its skin and lips. Its mouth widens, and it loses its horny jaws. The tail becomes much smaller,
and the legs grow. Its lungs begin to work.

An adult frogEleven weeks after the egg was laid, a fully developed
frog with lungs, legs, and no tail emerges from the water.
This frog will live mostly on land, with occasional swims. The tiny frogs begin to eat insects and worms.
Eventually, it will find a mate. The female lays the eggs, the male fertilizes them, and the whole process begins
again.
