The Life cycle of A Frog
The life cycle of a frog begins when a
male frog and female frog mate. This usually happens in the water. As the
female frog lays its eggs, the male frog will fertilize them. The floating
clumps of eggs are called frog spawn.
Between six and 21 days after the eggs
are fertilized, they begin to hatch. The tadpoles feed on the remaining yolk.
They have gills, a mounth and a tail. They stick themselves onto floating weeds
or grass in the water. Then seven to ten days later, they begin to swim and eat
algae.
Within six to nine weeks, their feet
appear. They begin to eat dead insects and plants. After nine weeks, they look
like a small frog with a long tail. After 12 weeks, their tails will disappear.
Frogs live mostly on land. Sometimes, they swim. These little frogs will start
to feed on insects and worms. Later, they will find a mate and the whole
life cycle begins again.
