What stages does a tadpole go through to turn into a frog?
You all just need to get a lyffe! joke! i love science!
The term 'Maturation' should also apply.
I think also that there is another term...
When a tadpole turns into a frog, we call it metamorphosis, or the process of transformation from an immature amphibian form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.
Why are frogs important to our environment?
Frogs, as well as salmon and trout, are an indicator species. In the case of frogs, they are largely an indicator species for humans. When frogs disappear or die, it can indicate a threat to humans-- such as a disease or a natural disaster. Also, a large number of breakthroughs in medicine are due to frogs; if frogs die off, we lose a large amount of our medicine. In fact, frogs may be a key factor in curing certain types of cancer.
In short, frogs are extremely important part of our lives-- whether we know it or not.
Most likely, my dogs do. Frogs have a poison that seeps out of their backs...this causes the animal to not eat it, or vomit for awhile. So, if your cat if vomiting after this, its ok. But, if it continues and becomes more frequent....see the vet.
Why do tadpoles lose their tails when they grow up?
they don't really fall off, more accurately they are slowly absorbed by a frogs body as they change it gradually grows shorter until it disappears, Occasionally small frogs are found stil in development with a tiny stub of remaining tail

i think that frogs and toads are nocturnal because they are always up during the night and sleep during the day. people always here them at night because of it and that is how you know they are nocturnal.
Komodo dragons have thrived in the harsh climate of Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands for millions of years. The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) would probably eat a tiger should they ever meet. One bite from the komodo results in a slow and certain death (over several days) due to the bacteria in the komodo's saliva.
Since frogs spend most of their lives in water there is a huge advantage to having a redundant system of getting oxygen. The need for a frog to be able to breathe without surfacing during the winter months makes "skin breathing" very advantageous. The use of lungs is effective when the frog is on the surface (especially when completely out of the water).
No, not all frogs are able to call, but most of them can - the modification of the lungs, chest muscles and vocal cords for calling are seen in the majority of frog (and toad) species, but these tend to be the "newer" frogs, or "neobatrachia" and "mesobatrachia" as is the scientific names for these large groups.
The early/older frog groups such as the tailed frogs (Ascaphidae) don't call at all and the tongueless frogs (Pipidae) generally don't call, those that do don't use the same mechanism of vocal cords as "typical" frogs do but use their larynx to make a series of clicks heard only underwater.
There are also some "newer" frog species that had calling ancestors, but they have since lost the ability to call. Species like the harlequin toads of central america (Atelopus) live by waterfalls and loud, fast flowing rivers. There isn't much point calling next to a waterfall that will just drown them out, so they actually attract females using what's called a "semaphore" system - which is where they use their legs and "wave" in a very colourful visual display.

How do frogs adapt to seasonal changes?
Frogs are found all over the world in every type of habitat from the Arctic Circle to tropical regions, from deserts to rainforests. In order to survive these diverse conditions, frogs use several coping mechanisms. The first of these, hibernation, is a response to cold winters. The frog finds a place that is protected from the weather and predators. Its metabolism slows down and it lives off of energy that is stored in the body.
Estivation is a reaction to diverse environmental conditions such as drought. Frogs like the African bullfrog dig deep into the soil just like during hibernation and become dormant. They then shed several layers of skin. This forms a waterproof cocoon that leaves only the nostrils exposed to the air. The frog can survive in this manner for a period as long as seven years if necessary.
How does the glass frog protect itself?
Yes it actually can if you put it in a forest but it matters what colour it is , sometimes there are pink glass frogs or blue but if it is a dark green then it most certainly can ! :)
Where and how does offspring develop in frog?
They develop in water, with some exceptions. Some salamanders are live-bearing and some frogs have a larval stadium that develops inside the egg.
