How Does a Tadpole Become a Frog?

Small tadpoles are children of frogs. A frog lays eggs m the water which turn into tadpoles later. These tadpoles look like fish when they are first hatched. They get bigger day by day and grow two hind legs. Several days later, two forelegs grow and their tails become short. Finally, the tails disappear and the tadpoles change into frogs.

To see this change, you may scoop up two tadpoles from a stream and put them m a glass bottle. You can observe carefully how tadpoles become frogs.
