Será que este sapo vira príncipe ?

Frog Life Cycle

O sapo não vira príncipe !
Mas se transforma muito até virar adulto !
Frogs are amphibians, animals that spend part of their lives under water and the remainder on land.




Like all amphibians, frogs spend their lives near water because they must return to the water to lay their eggs.





Egg - Tiny frog eggs are laid in masses in the water by a female frog. The eggs hatch into tadpoles.

Tadpole - (also called the polliwog) This stage hatches from the egg. The tadpole spends its time swimming in the water, eating and growing. Tadpoles breathe using gills and have a tail.

Tadpole with legs - In this stage the tadpole sprouts legs (and then arms), has a longer body, and has a more distinct head. It still breathes using gills and has a tail.

Froglet - In this stage, the almost mature frog breathes with lungs and still has some of its tail.

Adult - The adult frog breathes with lungs and has no tail (it has been absorbed by the body).
