Life Cycle of a Frog
The frog lays its eggs in the water or in wet
places.
A floating clump of eggs is called a frog spawn.
A frog can lay thousands of eggs at one time!
WOW!
After 21 days, a tadpole is born!
A tadpole is a baby frog.
A tadpole has a long tail and lives in the water.
Tadpoles eat very small plants that stick to larger plants in the
water.
These small plants are
called algae.
After about 5 weeks, the tadpole grows hind legs and forelegs.
The tadpole also starts developing lungs!
Once in a while the tadpole swims up to the surface to
breathe some air.
Over the next few weeks, the tadpole starts looking more like a frog.
The tadpole’s tail gets smaller and it’s legs get larger. It’s lungs get bigger too.
Finally, the tadpole turns into a frog!
A frog has legs, lungs, and no tail.
It eats insects
and worms and lives mostly on
land.
Eventually the frog finds a mate. The female lays eggs
and the male fertilizes them.
Then the cycle begins all over again!
The frog lays it’s eggs.
A tadpole is born.
The tadpole grows legs and develops lungs…
And then the tadpole turns into
a frog!
