Frog Life Cycle and Behavior

The video explains the frog life cycle, which includes four main stages: egg, tadpole, froglet, and adult frog. Frog eggs are laid in clusters and protected by a jelly-like substance. Tadpoles emerge from eggs and undergo significant development, eventually growing legs and lungs to become froglets. Froglets are young frogs that continue to grow until they reach adulthood, losing their tails and developing a diet of insects and small animals. The video also highlights unique reproductive strategies of some frog species, such as laying eggs in different locations to increase survival chances.

What is the primary function of the jelly surrounding frog eggs?

• To provide nutrients

• To protect from predators and bacteria

• To help the eggs float

• To attract male frogs

How can you differentiate between frog eggs and toad eggs?

• Toad eggs are in clusters, frog eggs are in strings

• Frog eggs are larger than toad eggs

• Frog eggs are in clusters, toad eggs are in strings

• Toad eggs are larger than frog eggs

What do tadpoles primarily feed on at the beginning of their stage?

• Small fish

• The remaining yolk of the egg

• Algae

• Insects

At the end of the tadpole stage, what significant change occurs?

• Their tails start to disappear

• They begin to lay eggs

• They develop wings

• They start to hibernate

What is a froglet?

• An egg that is about to hatch

• A tadpole that has just hatched

• A fully grown frog

• A young frog that has completed metamorphosis

How long does it take for a froglet to become an adult frog?

• Four years

• Three years

• Two years

• One year

What do adult frogs primarily eat?

• Fruits

• Fish

• Insects and invertebrates

• Plants

How long can adult frogs live in captivity?

• Up to 40 years

• Up to 30 years

• Up to 20 years

• Up to 10 years

What unique strategy do dart frogs use to increase the survival chances of their eggs?

• Laying eggs in different puddles

• Covering eggs with leaves

• Hiding eggs underground

• Laying eggs in trees

How do some frogs ensure the safety of their tadpoles?

• By hiding them in caves

• By carrying them on their backs

• By placing them in nests

• By burying them in the sand
