An amphibian lives part of its life in the water and part of its life on land. Frogs are amphibians that undergo complete metamorphosis, changing from an egg to a tadpole that swims in the water to a frog that jumps and climbs on land. Click through the slides below to learn more about frogs.
Frogs are amphibians. This means that they spend part of their life in the water and part on land.
A mother frog lays soft eggs in the water. In 4-15 days, the eggs hatch and tadpoles begin swimming. The tadpoles look like baby fish. They even breathe like fish through gills. Next the tadpole’s head grows larger, the tail grows longer, and the back legs start to grow. Smaller front legs grow next. It’s starting to look more like a frog. It’s called a froglet. Finally, the gills get covered and lungs form. The tail grows into a body, and it becomes an adult frog. Now it breathes air on land. |
