What is the best way to catch a tadpole?
Try early in the summer, or late in the spring. Look in creeks, rivers, ponds, ditches, and maybe the pond in your own backyard [if you have one]. If you hear Ribbit sounds, that's a male frog calling and looking for a female. Look for eggs, too. The eggs look like lots of eyeballs in the water all stuck together. The white stuff is the jelly they tadpoles eat when they hatch. The black dots in the middle are the tadpoles. Hope this helps.
p.s. Go to Pet-frog.com and look for tadpoles there if you can't find any wild ones.
They don't cost very much. About $7.50 for a tadpole and food. Try it. Try looking online there. Bye :) :D
Yes, Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teeth hold the prey while suffocating it with constriction.
General information!
Anacondas Scientific classification.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Boidae
Subfamily: Boinae
Genus: Eunectes
The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long, they stay with the mother for about and hour then leave to be on their own. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teethhold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
What part of the frog's heart is thicker?
The wall of the ventricle is thicker than the walls of the atria because the ventricle pumps blood throughout the body, and the wall of the ventricle needs to be thick snd muscular in order to do so.
How is a frog's tongue designed for eating insects?
it is connected to the front of the mouth so it can flick further to catch flies. ./ \.
No. As tadpoles they go about together in the same bit of water, but when they become frogs they set out on their own.
Well when frogs reproduce, they keep in mind that a lot of animals will eat tadpoles, so they respond by making more.
Pre-tadpole frogs, or those at an embryonic stage, can regrow tissue effectively. This genetic ability has been known to enable frog embryos to recover from very severe cuts, equatable to human injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash at 70m/hr, without any visible scar tissue. Even tadpoles are capable of completely restoring a severed tail in as little as nine days.
Fully-grown frogs, however, lose this genetic ability in adulthood. So, no. I don't believe total (or any...) leg regrowth is on the cards for the frog amputees of late. Sadly.
What is the function of the ovaries in a frog?
The function of the ovaries in a frog is to produce eggs. They have the same role as the ovaries in other animals.
The function of a frog's ovaries are the same as any other animal. The frogs ovaries produce eggs which if fertilized will turn into babies.
The ovaries in a frog are used to reproduce
How does the frog cells adapt to the freezing tundra?
In the freezing tundra, the frog cells allows it to freeze itself. The frogs heart stops beating, blood stops, and it cannot move. When the spring arrives, the frog body thaws and the frog returns to its normal life.
There are male and female frogs but some are hemafrodites, they change sex. The reason to change could be environmental factors or something else.
How often do you feed baby frogs?
I have the common frogs which are only a centimetre long as theyre froglets still. They find it difficult to eat large insects and can only eat things that can fit between their eyes. Ive been feeding mine aphids and spring/summer is the time to find them. If you find a maple leaf and turn it over, the leaf should have some aphids on it. :) good luck!
What does a dying tadpole look like?
You can find many assorted pictures of tadpoles on Google or Yahoo.
How do you get a frog out of your pool?
One time, i scrutinized my stupid pool for any clues on where the tweengloggs dissapeared to. But that's unrelated. Wait a minute, if its in the pool drain isn't it dead? Why do u wanna get it? Chuck Norris once took an entire bottle of sleeping pills....They made him blink. But Anyway, to complete this worthless, stupid and pointless, waste of time goal, u need a knife, butter, and some bred. First u get the butter and hurl it as far as you can into the horizon. If a giant sea monster comes out of the ground and catches it you did it right.
Then you take the bread and eat it. You must eat it in one bite or you will fail awfully and everyone around including the lizard, will laugh at your failure. But then again, you will still have the knife. Take it and shove it into your chest because you will never succeed at freeing the lizard and that will make you a stupid failure that has no friends. Not even the lizard will love you. I noticed that on all the coins, the presidents all face left....except for Lincoln....Isnt that strange?
Hope I helped
Yes.
They are called 'grenouilles' and, if cooked correctly, are delicious, having a delicate flavour tasting somewhere between chicken and fish.
As a little aside, because the French eat frogs' legs the (derogatory) nickname that the English give to the French is the 'Froggies'. In return the French call the English les 'Rosbifs' - as it is the way that the French say 'Roast beef'. A bit like the friendly nicknames that the British give the Americans (yanks) and the Americans give the British (Brits or Limeys) but, unlike these friendly nicknames, the Froggies and the Rosbifs are more insulting! Frogs' legs are obtainable in many, more traditional, restaurants in France, and are also available either fresh or frozen in the larger French supermarkets. The legs often come in pairs, joined at the top (at least the ones that I have eaten!).
And they are available in many restaurants all over the world, including the US.
An alternative answerTHE CORRECT ANSWER: They serve "frogs legs" in the US, and maybe Americanized restaurants in Paris (above answer). But the real French eat the whole headless frog body, gutted and sauteed with butter, garlic, parsley, and Herbes De Provence. It is a different species; they are about 3 inches in size, it is Not the same frog with 4 inch legs we get in the US.The Edible Frog, Pelophylax kl. esculentusis the fertile hybrid of the Pool Frog (Pelophylax lessonae) and the Marsh Frog (Pelophylax ridibundus). However, when edible frogs mate with each other, their offspring are often malformed, so there are no pure populations of edible frogs. The hybrid populations are propagated by female edible frogs mating with males of one of the parental species. They originally grew wild around the thousands of lakes North East of Lyon, but today are farm raised in France and Brazil (for the French market). It is a tradition in France to go to a restaurant on Sunday to eat frogs, so people drive 100 miles from Paris to lakes of Lyon, where the best frog restaurants are.
What is function of the Glottis opening of a frog?
When studying animals it is important to know their individual anatomy. The glottis in a frog is located at the back of the throat. It is what helps to inflate the lungs with air.

Can you keep a certain type of frog in with Bettas?
In larger (10+ gallon) well furnished tanks, some people have successfully kept African Dwarf Frogs with bettas. These very small frogs grow no larger than the fish. However, great care must be taken to ensure that both the betta and the frogs are appropriately fed. Also, some bettas will bully the frogs and are not appropriate tankmates.
If you do want to attempt a betta/frogs setup, make sure your frogs are African Dwarf Frogs and not African Clawed Frogs; the much larger and more aggressive African Clawed Frog will probably eat your betta.
I do believe there are several reasons.
one. Due to the fact that frogs have small (and in some cases no) lungs, there is no need for any protection of it. this is because they breath through their skin, hens frogs need to be always moisture to allow the skin to breath.
Also frogs need to be flexible in the chest area so they can push up food (vomit), because they vomit up their stomach not only food. another possible reason is that they need to squeeze into small places.
