ZOOLOGY
Life Cycle of a Frog – frogs can be interesting, and pets too!
Metamorphosis is the complete change of form in an animal’s life. During
metamorphosis, the tadpole would grow back legs first, then, front legs.
The transformation begins from an aquatic creature to an amphibian!
Approximately six weeks thereafter, the mouth starts to widen, tongue
goes exploring and hunting, and later, the eyes begin to bulge, the tail
begins to shrink and eventually disappear. Enter the ‘frog ’! Within this
change that is nothing short of amazing, the creature that breathed
under water now has lungs to breathe air, just like we do!
Yay!
