Young amphibians, like the larval frog or 'tadpole' pictured here, spend their early years in the water, breathing through gills in the side of their head in much the same way as fish do.
One of the characteristics of amphibians is metamorphosis; when the larva or 'tadpole' living in water and breathing with gills develops into an adult, it leaves the aquatic environment and breathes with lungs like a land animal.
Frogs were not symbols of death but, on the contrary, of rebirth and renewal, because of its remarkable metamorphosis of egg into tadpole and from 'tadpole' into frog.
These species tend to have shorter larval periods on average when compared to 'tadpoles' that develop in more permanent ponds.
The young snakes prey on recently hatched steelhead trout and chinook salmon and on the 'tadpoles' of yellow-legged frogs.
Biologists now find that slightly elevated UV exposure reduces the chance that 'tadpoles' will become frogs.
Just before metamorphosis, the 'tadpoles' weigh only a fraction of an ounce.
Toad 'tadpoles' appear to be distasteful to many predators, and, perhaps as a result of this, are much more often to be seen in open water than those of the common frog.

We have observed that green frog 'tadpoles' react less strongly to predators at very low resource levels.
Inside the pouch, the 'tadpoles' live on the yolk leftover from their hatching.
As the 'tadpoles' become frogs, the gills initially used to breathe are replaced with lungs.
The cells divide and change until they have a head and short tail, like 'tadpoles' .
Most 'tadpoles' are suspension feeders, filtering out tiny particles while continuously pumping water.
