The Life Cycle of a Frog

The female lays eggs in the water while the male fertilizes them. That is called external fertilization. The female protects the eggs. The egg soon turns into a tadpole. Which would be like a baby frog. Mouth parts begin to form.They have gills, like our lungs, to breathe. They also have a finned tail. Through the growing process, called metamorphosis, the tail disappears and legs begin to develop. There is now a shape of a head. Once in this stage of it's life cycle it will be a grown frog.
