The female frog lays several thousand eggs in the water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, which do not look like frogs at all. They have big
heads and long tails. They have gills to breathe under water. As a tadpole grows, its tail becomes smaller and disappears and legs appear. The
tadpole develops lungs so it can breathe out of water. The tadpole is now a young frog. It can live on land or in water.
