about the life cycle of a frog at the zoo.
Inside the eggs are called tadpoles, tadpoles hatch from the eggs and live in ponds and streams.
To swim, they wiggle their tails. Tadpoles have small teeth to eat pond plants.
Tadpoles breathe under water with their gills. After a several weeks, tadpoles begin to grow into frogs.
First they grow two hind legs near their tails, then they grow two front legs.
The tail then becomes shorter and soon is almost gone.
