Let'S Read: A Frog Life Cycle

Frog eggs are laid in large numbers and surrounded by jelly for protection. After 21 days, the embryo leaves the jelly shell and attaches to a weed, becoming a tadpole with a tail that lives in water. Around 5 weeks, the tadpole starts growing hind legs followed by forelegs as it transforms, with its tail shrinking and legs lengthening over 11 weeks, until a fully developed frog with lungs and legs emerges from the water to restart the cycle.

A FROG LIFE CYCLE

Firstly, the egg begins


as a single cell. There
may be thousands of
eggs laid at once. It
becomes surrounded
by a jellylike covering,
which protects the
egg.

Then, after 21 day


development
period,
the embryo leaves its
jelly shell, attaches
itself to a weed in the
water.
This
quickly
becomes a tadpole.
The tadpole has a long
tail, and lives in the
water.

Moreover, about five


weeks
the
tadpole
begins to change. It
starts to grow hind
legs. Which are soon
followed with forelegs.

Furthermore,
the
tadpole becomes more
like a frog. Its mouth
widens, tails becomes
smaller, and the legs
grow.

Finally, eleven weeks


after the eggs was
laid, a fully developed
frog with lungs, legs,
and no tail emerges
from the water and the
whole process begins
again.
