Exploring the Frog Life Cycle

The video explores the life cycle of a frog, starting with a female frog laying eggs in a pond. These eggs, coated with a jelly-like substance, form a spawn. A tadpole hatches from the egg, resembling a fish, and feeds on the yolk. As it grows, the tadpole develops gills, fins, and eventually limbs, transforming into a froglet. The froglet develops lungs and loses its tail, becoming an adult frog that can live on land. The cycle continues as adult frogs lay eggs. The video includes trivia about tadpoles and encourages viewer interaction.
