Amphibian Life Cycle and Characteristics

The video explains the life cycle of a frog, starting from frogspawn, which are eggs laid in water. These eggs hatch into tadpoles, which grow and develop in water, eventually forming legs and lungs. As they mature, they become froglets and then adult frogs, capable of living on land. Adult frogs reproduce, laying new frogspawn, thus continuing the cycle.
