What are the stages in the growth of a frog?

From juvenile to adult, a frog undergoes a process known as metamorphosis.In chronological order, the stages of a frog's life cycle are:eggtadpolefrogletfrogThe frog lays its eggs, which is called frogspawn - a jelly-like substance containing thousands of eggs, which floats on the surface of the water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, with gills, a spiracle (breathing hole) and fins. At this stage, it eats only waterweeds and aquatic vegetation.Gradually, metamorphosis occurs, with the back legs growing first, followed by the front legs. Lungs take over the function of the gills, as pulmonary breathing begins. When the tadpole has all four legs but still has its tail, it is called a froglet. The tail continues to shrink, and once the tail disappears, it is a frog. As a frog, it becomes insectivorous, with some types carnivorous, eating small mammals.


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.
