Frogs lay their eggs in water or wet placesFloating clumps of eggs are called frog spawnOnce laid, the eggs are surrounded by a
jellylike covering to protect them
Eggs
Main Menu
After 21 days the embryo leaves the jelly shell and attaches to a weed in the water
The embryo grows until it is big enough to break free into the water
This can take from 3 days to 3 weeks depending on the species of frog
Tadpole
Main Menu
After about 5 weeks, the tadpole starts to grow hind legs
This is followed by the growth of forelegs The tails become smallerLungs begin to develop Mouth widens
Tadpole with legs
Main Menu
11 weeks after an egg is laid, a fully developed frog emerges from the water.
The frog will now live mostly on land, but returns to the water to swim.
