Amphibian
A frog's life cycle is a big change, called a metamorphosis!
The stages are:
It starts as a tiny egg in a big jelly-like clump called frogspawn. A tadpole hatches from the egg and lives in water, breathing with gills. It then grows legs and its tail gets shorter – this is a froglet. Finally, it becomes an adult frog that can live on land.
💡 Fun Facts
- Tadpoles look more like little fish than frogs when they first hatch.
- Frogs can breathe through their skin as well as their lungs.
