Frogs leave their "spawn" or eggs for different reasons. For example, in tropical regions, frogs hide their spawn where predators can't find them- in the leaves of a bromelaid, for instance. In temperate regions, the frogs often lay spawn in huge groups that cover the surface of the water. This allows for some to still live, even if most get eaten by predators. Frogs often come back to their eggs to clean them of fungi. Some frogs don't even lay eggs and bear live young. There are some frogs who carry their eggs on their backs though. Frogs usually leave their spawn so that they are not in one place for too long- otherwise predators will find them.
its called the tadpole
Frog spawn does not eat anything; it consists of eggs laid by frogs in water. The tadpoles that hatch from the frog spawn will typically eat algae, plants, and small invertebrates in the water.
Spawn is the name of the eggs that are laid by frogs.
The most obvious difference between the two is that frogs' eggs (frogspawn) are laid in bunches or clusters, whilst toads' eggs are laid in long strings.
It depends on the type of frog
frogspawn. they come in tiny little black eggs and then pop out as tadpoles!
Spawn is the name of the eggs that are laid by frogs.
Frog's spawn are eggs laid on mass, each egg being protected in a jelly-like covering. Of all the vast number of spawn laid, not many tadpoles will live to reach adulthood as a frog. But, enough will survive each year to continue the frog species as a whole.
They live "on land" although frogs still live in water, they just are not reliant on it for oxygen.
No, frogs and toads are not the same, they are different species. Frogs have smooth skin, toads bumpy skin. Frogs have longer legs than toads. Frogs live mostly in water, while toads may live on land more. Frogs spawn is laid in a clump, toad spawn is laid in long strings.
Frogs and toads lay masses of eggs which are called spawn.
Frog spawn has to be laid in water. The hatching tadpoles need to remain in water until they turn into a young frog. Then the frog can leave the water and will spend most of their time resting in dark, damp areas under large stones, etc.
