Key insights

🐸Female frogs lay hundreds of eggs in ponds, each coated with a jelly-like substance for protection.

🌊Only a few of the eggs get fertilized, as many are destroyed by natural calamities.

🐟After a few days, tadpoles hatch from the eggs and resemble fish rather than frogs.

🌱Tadpoles develop external gills, elongated tails, and fins as they grow and feed on plants and algae.

🐸Over time, tadpoles develop hind limbs, lungs, and lose their tails, transforming into froglets.
