the LIFE CYCLE RED EYED TREE FROG

The first thing that happens in a frogs life is the egg laying. The mother frog lays her eggs under water. She lays about 100-200 egg. When they hatch they are not frogs they are tadpoles. They have tails so they can swim. They eat shrubs and weeds (But not all of them survive). After a few weeks the tadpoles grow back legs, Then front legs. The tadpoles are not tadpoles any more they are froglets. Soon they become Red Eyed Tree Frogs!
