This Is My Life By Tad Pole

Birth I was born on a chilly day in April. The pond which would be ny home for a few weeks was small but cozy because there were many many of my brothers and sisters who were also born with me. We immediately began to swim around with our very long and powerful tails. Boy, there was a lot of traffic in that pond. .

Early Life Tadpoles live in the water for the first part of their life and breathe through their gills. They are born with long tails which become shorter as they grow older. The tadpoles grow front legs first as their tails become shorter. Eventually, the back legs grow and their tails disappear. They also start to develop lungs.

Adult Life The adult frogs loose their gills but keep their moist skin. They can breathe on land and in the water. In the spring, the adult female frogs lay eggs in the water and the cycle starts all over again.

Conclusion The life cycle of the frog, an amphibian consists of the egg, tadpole and adult stage. The first two stages are in water and the adult stage is on land. Amphibian means land and water living.
