Frog Life Cycle and Metamorphosis

The video from FreeSchool explores the life cycle of a frog, starting from eggs laid in water, hatching into tadpoles, and eventually transforming into adult frogs. Tadpoles initially have gills and are herbivores, feeding on plants. As they grow, they develop legs and lungs, transitioning to a carnivorous diet. The video concludes with the metamorphosis into adult frogs, highlighting the significant changes in their anatomy and diet.
