11. First, the female frog lays lots of eggs so some will survive from
being eaten by fish and other animals. The eggs are smakk and often
laid inside white foam.
Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have gills so they
can breath under water and a strong tail to help them swim.
As the tadpoles grow bigger, they start to change because
they need to become a frog. Their tail becomes smaller and they
begin growing legs. The back legs grow firs followed by the front legs.
Tadpoles also start to develop lungs because they have to be
ready to breathe on land when they become a frog.
Frogs are amphibians. Amphibians spend part of their
lives under water. Young frogs start their life in water as tadpoles.
Tadpoles may be found in billabongs, lakes, swamps or
even in puddles after heavy rain.
