2.5.12 The Frog Cycle

Eggs: Frogs lay eggs called 'spawn'. Their eggs are like jelly that means that they protect themselves. The eggs are only allowed to stay in the water. It takes about 21 days to hatch.

Tadpole:

The eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles can only live in water. They have gills that help them to breath under water. Tadpoles can eat plants because they have no teeth.

Froglet: As the tadpole starts to grow,it develops four hind legs so what that means is that when the tadpoles grow they have tails. So then they start to lose their tails so then they become froglets.

Adult Frogs:

Adult frogs come after froglets so what happens is that the frog let has to loose her tail so the froglet can become a adult frog. So now the froglet has a tail stub and so that means that only a little bit was left if its tail so then the froglet becomes an adult frog.
