because it requires the amino acids and protein stored in the tail in order to cause the change in the body of the frog to grow legs. Frogs grow legs because they need them for reproduction later in life on land.
legs
Tadpoles first grow hind legs and then front legs. the hind leg appear right where the tail starts
It typically takes about 6-9 weeks for a tadpole to develop hind legs. The front legs usually appear a week or two later. These stages of metamorphosis vary depending on the species of frog and environmental conditions.
Frogs go through metamorphosis, starting as eggs which hatch into tadpoles with gills that eventually develop into lungs. Tadpoles grow and transform into adult frogs through a process that includes the loss of the tail, growth of hind legs and then forelegs, and other physical changes.
A fish may lose its tail due to injury, disease, or stress. Tail loss can impact a fish's ability to swim and feed properly, making it more vulnerable to predators and other challenges in its environment. It is important to address the underlying cause and provide appropriate care to help the fish recover.
Frogs begin life as tadpoles, which have gills, so they must stay in water to breathe.As they grow into frogs, they lose the gills and grow legs, the tail is absorbed, and they begin to breathe air through developing lungs.
When most frogs hatch they have a tail. They are called tadpoles or polywogs. As they mature they lose the tail and grow front and back legs.
No. As a tadpole a frog can regrow its tail if it is damaged. But they lose this power of regeneration of limbs as they mature into frogs. It is a myth that they can regrow legs.
Metamorphosis. The back legs grow, then the front legs. The tail then disappears and you have a froglett.
legs
The tail, if one is speaking of the frogs body only.
First, adult frogs reproduce sexually. Next, eggs are fertilized outside the females body. Then, the tadpoles hatch. After that, they develop hind and front legs. Last, the tail is absorbed, and development is complete.
yes, like any regular lizard, newts have webbed feet.
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
A baby frog is called a tadpole. Tadpoles are the larval stage of frogs and typically have a streamlined body, a long tail, and no legs. They primarily live in water and undergo metamorphosis to develop into adult frogs, during which they grow legs, lose their tails, and transition to a more terrestrial lifestyle.
It is beginning the process known as 'metamorphosis' - the tail is absorbed, and the legs start to grow. At the same time, the tadpoles gills are changed into lungs - in preparation for a semi-aquatic life.
When a tadpole develops into a frog, apart from growing legs and arms, the tail is absorbed into the frog's body.
