Frog life cycle

1 Adult frogs lay large numbers of eggs in water.

2 The eggs hatch into called tadpoles.

3 The tadpoles grow larger as they feed on algae and plants.

4 As it grows, the tadpole develops legs and lungs.

5 When its limbs and lungs have formed, the young frog crawls out on to land.

6 The frog re-absorbs the rest of its tail and continues to grow until it reaches its adult body size.
