No, a tadpole is the larva of frogs, which makes it technically an amphibian. It is, even though it lives in water and has gills. Anyway, it's not a mammal because 1.) It doesn't have hair/fur, 2.) It doesn't have its young live, 3.) it doesn't feed its young with milk. Hope this helps, User Ameobea The Tadpole is the young of the frog which is an amphibian.
Although, by definition, an amphibian is capable of living in & out of water but returns to water to spawn, the tadpole does neither.
It does not spawn until it has developed into a mature adult (frog) and nor can it survive out of water.
A mammal on the otherhand is defined by that fact that it gives birth to a live youngster which is, for all intents and purposes, a replica of it's parents.

What does a tadpole turn into?
The life cycle of the frog begins as a fertilized egg, which then turns into a tadpole. The tadpole grows legs and eventually loses its tail, becoming an adult frog. This process is called metamorphosis, which is any process of transformation, such as that of the immature frog (tadpole) to the adult frog.
How long does it take for a tadpole to hatch?
The size of a tadpole depends entirely on what type of tadpole it is. For example, the South American frog Pseudis paradoxa has a tadpole that reaches 10 inches in length, whereas the American Toad, Bufo Americanus, has a tadpole that only gets about 3/4" long.

Can a frog and toad mate?
That is generally true what badac claimed, however I've interbred the two species and there is offspring. I bred a male common toad with a female common frog, the offspring wasn't natural at all. The offspring resulted as a tadpole with tiny legs, only two survived and i released the frog,toad and frogtoads back into the wild. Conclusion- A frog and toad can mate but only in captivity, also they need to be similar e.g. treefrog toad and frog, common toad and frog.
