How do tadpoles originate in an enclosed pond with no available parent?
Tadpoles can originate from eggs laid by frogs or toads that visited the pond in previous seasons. Frogs and toads can travel long distances to find suitable breeding sites, so tadpoles may appear in seemingly isolated ponds. In some cases, birds or other animals may inadvertently introduce frog eggs to a pond by carrying them on their feet or feathers.
Do frogs have live young?
Frogs hatched from eggs. Eggs hatch into fishlike young called tadpoles which grow and eventually undergo metamorphosis, a change in body form, to become adults. But some frogs do not have a tadpole stage, instead, tiny froglets hatch directly from the eggs.
How do you tell if a tadpole is a frog tadpole or a toad tadpole?
frog tadpoles are usually brown and cane toads are black with there mouth and nose see through but some frogs such as the green mountain frog has jet black tadpoles.
What animals eat frogs and toads?
Baby toads eat the same things that big toads eat. They eat insects.
Do tadpoles come from bird poop?
No, tadpoles come from eggs laid by adult frogs or toads in bodies of water like ponds or lakes. Bird feces can sometimes act as a vehicle for the spread of frog eggs, but tadpoles themselves do not come from bird poop.
Can frogs and toads kill you?
most frogs and toads can't but some can its because of there poison. most poisonous frogs are bright colored so watch out for those.
If you build a pond in your bacckyard will tadpoles come to it?
That depends in part on your geography. If you are close to other bodies of water that are inhabited by frogs or toads, you are likely to find tadpoles in your pond. To have tadpoles in your pond, it must either be frequented by frogs or toads or have the eggs transported to the pond in some other way. The presence of tadpoles in a pond also depends on the pond itself. Shallow water on the margins of the pond with good vegetative cover provides favorable conditions for tadpoles. The water quality in the pond must also be conducive to aquatic life for tadpoles to survive.
What is the difference between frogs and toads?
Taxonomy of frogs and toads:Kingdom: AnimaliaSubkingdom: MetazoaPhylum: ChordataSubphylum: VertebrataClass: AmphibiaOrder: AnuraAfter this is family, and that is where frogs and toads split. True toads are all members of the family Bufonidae. True frogs are members of the family Ranidae. There are around 400 species of frogs, and 300 species of toads. There are also several frog species that are called toads in the common name, but if you look up the scientific classification, this reveals that they are indeed frogs. They are just called toads because of their resemblance to toads.Frogs have finer bodies with narrower waists while toads' bodies are broader.When on a flat surface, frogs lie flat, but toads tend to sit upright.Frogs have feet which are specially structured to act as suction caps to enable them to climb trees and other surfaces. Toads are entirely ground-dwelling.Frogs have an amazing variety of colours - green, yellow, orange, red, black and even blue. Toads are duller in appearance.Frogs have long, webbed hind feet: they can jump and leap very far because they have strong back legs, but toads cannot leap very far or jump very high because they have short hind legs. Frogs have longer legs and can jump farther in proportion to body length, while toads have shorter legs and jump less than the frog in proportion to body length. Toads walk instead of hopping.Some frogs have poison glands, but all toads have poison (Paratoid) glands behind their eyes. These glands secrete a poison called bufotoxin, which varies in intensity. Frog do not have paratoid glands, although frogs can have poison through alternate methods.Frogs have slimy, slippery and delicate skin, but toads have drier skin with warts.Frogs' eggs are laid in bunches or clusters, whilst toads' eggs are laid in long strings.Generally, frogs live near water (although there are some desert species which hibernate until rains come). Toads tend to live on land, although near boggy areas.Some frog species are diurnal and some are nocturnal: toads are almost exclusively nocturnal.Frogs have teeth for gripping their food (not chewing). Toads do not have teeth.There are no native toad species in Australia, but there are many native frog species.Frogs have smaller ear drums than toads.Toads have different cartilage in their chest compared to frogs.Frogs jump actively for their food; toads do the "sit-and-wait" strategy.Frogs are found in more places across the earth. Neither frogs nor toads are found in polar regions, but there are also no native toads in the Australasia - Oceania regions, while frog species are prolific.A frog's eyes are positioned higher in its head, while a toad's eyes are positioned lower.A group of frogs is called an army, while a group of toads is called a knot.
What are some things that leap?
Frogs and toads leap.
What are some common superstitons about diseases?
One common superstition is that you get warts from toads. That is just not possible, warts come from a virus that frogs and toads never carry.
What are the names of some animals living in ponds?
Frogs,Toads, tadpoles, fish, algae, water spiders\ pond skaters (insect), ducks, newts, mosquito (insect), dragonfly, and snails are some organisms that live in a pond area.
Do some frogs have poison in their skin?
Yes. Frogs (and toads) have mucous glands all over their skin to help keep their skin lubricated. If frogs do not keep their skin moist they will dry out and die. In some species, such as the poison dart frogs, the secretions from these glands are highly toxic. All frogs and toads have a degree of these poisons, even if it is only in retrace amounts, but in some species the concentration of toxins is much greater, providing an effective defence mechanism. The mucous glands in frogs' and toads' skin is different from the parotid glands which some species of toads have just behind their eyes, which contain irritants and other toxins to deter predators.
