They would most likely lay there eggs in a downfall because tadpoles need water even while in the egg that's why the egg is moist and damp...they lay them in moist and damp areas because the eggs wetness starts thinning and they need moisture....so when they are coming out the egg they will need something to knock it into the water so it can live
