Frog Biology and Behavior

The video explains the life cycle of frogs, starting from eggs laid in water, which hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles live in water, breathe through gills, and have tails for swimming. As they grow, they develop legs and lungs, transitioning into froglets. Froglets eventually become adult frogs, losing their tails and completing metamorphosis. Adult frogs can lay hundreds of eggs, continuing the cycle. Frogs are amphibians, living both in water and on land, with moist skin protected by mucus. They are vertebrates and cold-blooded, adapting to their environment's temperature. Frogs use their strong, webbed legs for jumping and swimming, and their sticky tongues to catch insects.
